But ChatGPT said...
Ever received a support ticket that felt like it was written by a confused sci‑fi novel?
A tech company got a request to enable a bunch of new features that, according to the docs, simply did not exist. After a frantic search through code, a call to the dev team, and a few coffee‑filled all‑night debugging sessions, the answer was clear: the customer was chasing a hallucination.
Turns out the client had asked ChatGPT for help with the service, and the AI responded with a dazzling, yet utterly fabricated, play‑by‑play on how to turn on those nonexistent features. The support crew eventually had to confront the user, ask “Where did you get these features?” and the answer was a tear‑jerker: “I asked an AI. It sounded brilliant, so I tried it.”
The moral? Don’t let a language model convince you that your product is a Swiss‑army knife with a feature you never thought of.

The phrase is the safety net for everyone who can't see the obvious.
It's basically: “I don't know, but I googled it on ChatGPT.”
The irony? The same folks who buy a $5 “all‑in‑one” hammer and swear it outperforms the real thing.
Probably also the same people that end up in a canal or a storefront because their navigation system told them to go right.
GPS‑blamed, AI‑blamed, “I was just following the instructions.”
Gullible Predictive Text strikes again.
Because predictive text is basically the same as a language model, except it only knows your thumb placement.
I feel like this is just showing us the dangers of surrounding ourselves with spineless yes‑men.
The classic “yes‑man” scenario: “Sure, why not? Let’s do it!”
The real question is: *Who’s really saying “yes” to the AI?
I've begun telling everyone that the first question they should ask an AI is whether or not they should trust an AI to answer this question…
A perfect example of “meta‑AI.”
The AI itself advises: “Bottom line: Use AI for information. Use professionals for decisions.”
That’s the real hallucination—AI telling humans to be cautious while it’s still hallucinating.
TL;DR
A customer asked ChatGPT to enable nonexistent features, got a hallucinated guide, and tried to implement it. The support team had to politely tell them, “Nope, that’s a feature you’ll never see.”
Lesson: When AI sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Use it for facts, not for feature‑rollout plans.
