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.

    This screenshot doesn’t really prove anything but that’s not how chatgpt works. It might have given you the right info and someone else the wrong info.

    Even if they were static, deterministic things, which they aren’t in the context of end user services like chatgpt, just giving two slightly different prompts could cause something like this to happen.
