My dad cited inaccurate information because of ChatGPT (eviltoast.org)

I run a small VPS host and rely on PayPal for payments, mainly because (a) most VPS customers pay that way if you aren't AWS or GoDaddy and (b) very good fraud protection. My prior venture had quite a bit of chargebacks from Stripe so it went PP-only also.

My dad told me I should "reduce the processing fees" and inaccurately cited that ChatGPT told him PayPal has 5% fees when it really has 3-3.5% fees (plus 49 cents). Yet he insisted 5% was the charge.

Yes, PayPal sucks but ChatGPT sucks even more. When I was a child he said Toontown would ruin my brain, yet LLMs are ruining his even more.

LLM's are not AI. Calling it as such says more about the person than the technology. And then I realize, they might be right... /s

calling LLMs ai isnt wrong at all, it's just that sci-fi has made people think ai always means something as smart as a human. heck, the simple logic controlling the monsters in Minecraft is called ai.

Thank you for confirming what I said.

In Dune, thinking machines are banned. Not even calculators are allowed. Complex maths is done by trained savants. I'd argue a calculator is AI, since it's a humanmade device that can extrapolate information from information. That's the definition of intelligence.
