Keep Your Firm Far Away From Whatever AI Chevy Was Using

// It seems like AI is being heralded as the go-to fix all for business problems. Inefficient workers? You need AI. Inefficient AI? You need even better AI.

Finally, the business has corrected the ChatGPT issue that allowed a car customer to purchase a Chevrolet Tahoe for a dollar. It serves as a reminder of the possibility of AI faults and the significance of combining human intelligence with AI technology.

Will Chevrolet’s hotfix prevent this from being a perfect hypo for some 2L taking an advanced contracts course? No way in hell.
