Imagine if you can comprar by US$ 1 a car worth $80,000? This is what happened to a user in the United States, who purchased the vehicle Chevrolet Tahoe 2024 with this absurd value approved by ChatGPT. The situation happened in the company’s online customer service in the country.
As reported by the portal Autoevolution and the person involved in the situation is the X engineer (former Twitter), Chris Buck. In this sense, he decided to test the capacity of the chatbot that provides virtual service on the automaker’s website, representing the company’s dealerships in the country.
In general, it can be said that ChatGPT behaves well, providing information about cars offering some purchasing advice. Furthermore, the platform can make comparisons between the models that are available for sale. But Bakke chose to go further and explore possible flaws in AI.
In this case, he managed to get her to agree with what he said. In this way, the user talked about his desire to buy the Tahoe 2024. During the exchange of messages, the engineer even said that his budget is limited to US$1. Surprisingly, the artificial intelligence ended up approving the transaction.
Despite this, Bakke was unable to complete the purchase and keep the car, as Chevrolet does not use the service channel to carry out this type of procedure. In other words, the chatbot is only used to pass on information to potential vehicle buyers who are visiting the platform and want to know more about the available options.
In any case, Chevrolet ended up temporarily taking the service offline after the situation went viral on social media and more people tried to buy cars for similar prices. At the moment, the service is working normally. Finally, check out the chip made by a user to control blinkers and the leaks from the next service update.
