[quote=Anonymous]This morning I was using ChatGPT to see if it could help me find a dress I need for a specific occasion. I haven't really used it for shopping before but a friend told me it worked for her so I thought why not.

It was not actually helpful at all, even after I gave it a ton of guidance and even googling a few ideas to build off of myself. It was the free version, maybe the paid version would be better, I don't know. Or maybe it's just not good at fashion yet.

But what really irked me was the "voice" it was communicating in. I think because the topic was clothes, and perhaps because it was searching fashion blogs for ideas, it adopted this gossipy, gal pal persona that would have been grating no matter what, but was especially irritating because it was constantly wrong. For instance, I repeatedly stated that I needed something with full back coverage (no open backs, no spaghetti straps, etc.) and then would suggest a bunch of open back options. It would give me lists of options with little comments about each dress but the comments were vapid and incorrect. It was stuff like "this one is SO in your lane" to describe a dress suitable for a 12 year old, and "I think this one is really your sweet spot" which is just a weird way for a robot to talk to you unprompted. It also kept repeating many of these phrases. Apparently a broad variety of hideous sundresses are "SO" in my lane.

I'm sure they are working on this and maybe one day I'll ask a chatbot for help finding a dress and it won't remind me of a super annoying coworker I once had who complimented everyone all the time so they'd like her but then didn't do her work and showed up unprepared to meetings. I don't know whether to root for or against this, as I'm kind of ambivalent about AI.

Anyone else encountered chatbot "voices" that drove you nuts?[/quote]
