ChatGPT Keeps Telling People 404 Media Can Solve Their Tech Support Problems

AI summary

ChatGPT is increasingly recommending 404 Media to users experiencing common tech support issues, suggesting the publication can help resolve their problems. This trend stems from the lack of human customer support at major tech platforms, leading users to AI chatbots for assistance. Many users, like a man from Russia seeking help with a banned Instagram account, are then directed to 404 Media, with some even having the chatbot compose their outreach emails.
