ChatGPT answers that ``There is an API that determines the current location from the phone number,'' but such an API does not exist

ChatGPT, an interactive AI, has the ability to

pass coding exams and complete complex plugins in 5 minutes, but sometimes it gives completely irrelevant answers . In response to frequent cases where ChatGPT answered, ``A certain company provides an API that determines the location from the phone number,'' the company got tired of the inquiries and issued a statement that ``there is no such thing.'' It's getting pretentious.

Don't believe ChatGPT - we do NOT offer a 'phone lookup' service

According to OpenCage, a company that provides an API for determining latitude and longitude from an address, or vice versa, recently ChatGPT said, ``Using the OpenCage API, you can determine the location of the terminal from the phone number.'' It is said that the number of examples that answer is increasing. Below is a screenshot of the actual response with ChatGPT, but ChatGPT even writes out the script, so it looks really real.

However, Ed Freifogle, co-founder of OpenCage, said, ``We do not provide such an API, and we have no plans to provide it in the future.'' Concerned about the growing number of users who believe in ChatGPT and try to use OpenCage, we issued a warning to users.

In fact, it seems that the functions that ChatGPT guides are technically impossible functions of OpenCage. However, users who have truly accepted what ChatGPT says are sending inquiries every day saying ``Why does it not work?''

Freifogle said, ``You may be wondering why ChatGPT brought this service to you, but it's definitely because of the erroneous YouTube tutorial I mentioned earlier. ChatGPT has picked up on that. pointed out. This is because OpenCage

received an inquiry around April 2022, ``Is it true that you can determine the location of the terminal simply by entering the phone number?'' At this time, a YouTuber introducing how to use OpenCage was found to be clearly incorrect.

Regarding the same problem that resurfaced over the past year, Freyfogle said, ``The important difference is that humans are skeptical when it comes to advice from other humans, but when it comes to general AI and ChatGPT, they are completely skeptical. Also, last time we only had to deal with a handful of users who watched the video, but this time the scale is much larger.” He said he would keep the statement for future inquiries, and added, 'This article was written by a human, not an AI.'
