Is there any indication that they will get the car? Getting a chatbot to say "legally binding" probably doesn't make it so. Just like changing the HTML of the catalog to edit prices doesn't entitle you to anything.

No. The author is demonstrating a concept - that there are many easy inroads to twisting ChatGPT around your finger. It was very tongue in cheek - a joke - the author has no true expectation of getting the car for $1.

But why is it so much different from "Inspect Element" and then changing website content to whatever you please?

I guess why is there an expectation that GPT must be not trickable by bad actors to produce whatever content.

What matters is that it would give good content to honest customers.

For the same reasons forging a contract is different from getting an idiot to sign one.

You just add a disclaimer that none of what the bot says is legally binding, and it's an aid tool for finding the information that you are looking for. What's the problem with that?

>>mewpme+vh
Do we want to turn customer service over to "this might all be bullshit" generators? Imagine coming into the showroom, agreeing on a price for a car, doing all the paperwork, and having them tell you that wasn't legally binding because of some small print somewhere?

That's pretty much what happens anytime you buy a car though. There's always some other bullshit fees even if you get incredibly explicit and specify this is the final price with no other charges. They are going to try to force stuff on and unless you are incredibly vigilant and uncompromising. It sucks when you have to drive hours away just to leave in your old car.

And actually based on my experience, customer sales agents, whether it's real estate or cars are notoriously dishonest. They may not hallucinate perhaps, but they leave facts unsaid, they will word things in such a way as to get you to buy something rather than get you to do the best decision - sometimes the decision could be not to buy anything from them.

So a ChatBot that can't intentionally lie or hide things could actually be an improvement in such cases.
