I run a small VPS host and rely on PayPal for payments, mainly because (a) most VPS customers pay that way if you aren’t AWS or GoDaddy and (b) very good fraud protection. My prior venture had quite a bit of chargebacks from Stripe so it went PP-only also.

My dad told me I should “reduce the processing fees” and inaccurately cited that ChatGPT told him PayPal has 5% fees when it really has 3-3.5% fees (plus 49 cents). Yet he insisted 5% was the charge.

Yes, PayPal sucks but ChatGPT sucks even more. When I was a child he said Toontown would ruin my brain, yet LLMs are ruining his even more.

    Tbh if they game get them to ask it about that, it fails spectacularly badly, even worse than in general. TV shows and movies it’s a bit better on, probably because there are so many episode summaries and reviews online, but if you talk to it long enough and ask varied and specific enough information it’ll fail there too.

    They may not be an expert at something, but if they have a specific interest or hobby that’ll probably work.
