![]() ![]() Note: this post was written by a human, not an AI. I wrote this post to have a place to send our new ChatGPT users when they ask why it isn’t work, but hopefully also it serves as a warning to others - you absolutely can not trust the output of ChatGPT to be truthful, Whether that answer is truthful does not seem to matter in the slightest. All suggestions are welcome.ĬhatGPT is doing exactly what its makers intended - producing a coherent, believable answer. Unfortunately it’s not really clear how to solve this. With ChatGPT the problem is several orders of magnitude bigger. ![]() Bad tutorial videos got us a handful of frustrated sign-ups. The other key difference is the sheer scale of the problem. 3 Steps to Do a Free Reverse Phone Lookup with USPhoneSearch With USPhoneSearch, performing a comprehensive reverse number lookup is totally free Simply follow the three easy steps. It seems though that we haven’t yet fully internalized this when it comes to AI in general or ChatGPT specifically. The key difference is that humans have learned to be sceptical when getting advice from other humans, for example via a video coding tutorial. You may be wondering “Why would ChatGPT ‘think’ they offer this service?” No doubt it’s due to the faulty YouTube tutorials people have made where they seem to claim we can do this, as we covered previously. We’re now getting support requests every single day asking us “Why is it not working?”. For us, and for the users who sign up believing we can offer this service. The situation is hugely frustrating for everyone. Looking at ChatGPT’s well formulated answer, it’s understandable people believe (complete with python code you can cut and paste) as you can see in this screenshot. Indeed, it is a not a service we are technically capable of providing.Īnd yet ChatGPT has absolutely no problem recommending us for this service It is not a service we have ever provided, nor a service we have any plans to provide. It seems ChatGPT is wrongly recommending us for “reverse phone number lookup” - ie the ability to determine the location of a mobile phone solely based on the number. “Not cool at all”Īs we dug into this it became clear most of of these new ChatGPT users were tying to use our geocoding API for an entirely different purpose. A few answered with some varient of “it didn’t work”, which of course alarmed us. We reached out to some of these users and asked why they had stopped. Very different from the behaviour of other free trial signups. Many of these new users seemed to use the free trial of our geocoding API for just a handful of API requests and then stopped completely. Over the last eight weeks this initial trickle of new sign-ups has become a steady flow.īut then something weird happened. Some new OpenCage users were starting to answer “ChatGPT” when we asked them how they had heard of us during the sign-up flow for our geocoding API. In January, as the new AI queston and answer service became more and more popular, we noticed something interesting. Like everyone else when ChatGPT launched a few months ago we dove in and ChatGPT claims we offer an API to turn a mobile phone number into the location of the phone. ![]()
