Adding a feature because ChatGPT incorrectly thinks it exists

Schöne Anekdote vom vielleicht ersten Software-Feature, das – von Menschen – nur deswegen entwickelt wurde, weil ChatGPT behauptet hat, dass es das gibt:

Turns out ChatGPT is telling people to go to Soundslice, create an account and import ASCII tab in order to hear the audio playback. […]

Problem is, we didn’t actually have that feature. We’ve never supported ASCII tab; ChatGPT was outright lying to people. And making us look bad in the process, setting false expectations about our service.

To my knowledge, this is the first case of a company developing a feature because ChatGPT is incorrectly telling people it exists. (Yay?)
