# Adding a feature because ChatGPT incorrectly thinks it exists

[Link →](https://www.holovaty.com/writing/chatgpt-fake-feature/)

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](https://www.soundslice.com/sheet-music-scanner/), create an account and import [ASCII tab](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_tab?wprov=sfti1) 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?)
