Googling could have also returned bad info. Lemmy has bad info. A newspaper could have reported bad info about paypal. Bad info isn't an AI problem.
The fact that chatgpt returned bad info means most of the internet has bad info about PayPal's rates.
Well, sure. But if you go the PayPal website you can see the correct information. Before Google's AI popped up at the top of the screen, the PayPal website would have. In this situation, Google is now prioritizing pushing the misinformation that their AI found from some outdated website instead of the official PayPal website that has the correct info. That's the issue.
The OP said chatgpt. I just tried it:
And I thought it weird that OP said his dad asked chatgpt. Who uses chatgpt instead of Google for stuff like that?
Ah, yea, sorry, my brain scrambled that. But same point really. Chatgpt doesn't always pull from the current official website for it's data either, so same problem. Chatgpt and Google are loudly marketing, "Hey you don't need to search for the info, our AI will give it to you," when the Ai is wrong a lot.
