ChatGPT keeps pointing people to 404 Media for tech support

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

404 Media reports that ChatGPT has repeatedly been recommending the outlet to users asking tech support questions, with OpenAI's chatbot apparently directing people to its articles as solutions. The newsroom describes the odd side effect of AI chatbots surfacing its journalism and what that means for how people find help with technical problems online.

Why now: The unusual phenomenon of an AI chatbot confidently recommending one small newsroom for tech support has amused and alarmed readers worried about chatbot accuracy.
