Someone Convinced a ChatGPT-Powered Chevy Dealer to Sell $81K Tahoe for Just $1::ChatGPT has taken the world by surprise with its new-generation capabilities, stepping in to help people write code, do homework, and complete an essay i…

Clickbait title is clickbait.

They told the chatbot to do something and it did it. No one in their right mind should think that’s “convincing” by any stretch of the definition.

It’s a rather amusing article, but don’t take it too seriously. It’s an ad attempting to go viral. FFS, there are 16 pictures of the Chevy Tahoe.

I kinda get it, it’s a car site after all. And I don’t want to be the one always screaming “shill!” when a product is mentioned. But still, 16 pictures of the product to tell a mildly amusing story? A story that ultimately isn’t focused on the exact product in question?

Idk what you’re talking about there’s one picture of a vehicle at the top and that’s it.

In my browser view the pic is right at the top with a thumbnail gallery attached. First thing in my face, hardly at the bottom.

They’re complaining about a photo gallery all the way at the bottom of the page. It comes after the content tags and author info.

Mad about that? Jeez they made it sound like their feed was a picture every sentence.

It’s also like the fourth time the same story has been posted in the last couple days.

Unless the dealer actually ended up selling him the car for $1, it’s really not that newsworthy.

The GM brand didn’t actually sell cars at these prices, though some say on Twitter that the responses offered by ChatGPT could serve as the basis for a lawsuit (it doesn’t).

Yeah, it’s just someone trying to hit their article quota or another AI churning out articles.

LOL, it’s not hard-hitting news, just a funny story. The clickbait headline does imply he bought it for $1.

This is not news unless he actually took ownership of that Tahoe for $1 in the end.

I’m not in the market for a car, but if I have to buy a Chevy from Watsonville and it only costs a dollar? I’m still not in the market for a car.
