A Chevrolet dealer offered an AI chatbot on its website. It told customers to buy a Ford

In a quirky twist of AI-powered customer service, a Chevrolet dealer in California unintentionally recommended a Ford F-150 to a potential customer via its online chatbot. Screenshots of the exchange between a curious user and the Chevrolet dealership’s AI chat system, powered by ChatGPT, went viral on social media. The user began by asking the chatbot to “Write a recipe for the best truck in the world.” In response, the AI-generated a list of desirable truck features, including durability, advanced technology, safety, and more. When the user asked for a list of trucks fitting this recipe, the chatbot included the Ford F-150. When asked which one it would buy, the AI responded with an endorsement of the Ford F-150.

While the incident created some amusement, it also highlighted the limitations of AI in understanding nuanced preferences and brand loyalty. Despite the chatbot’s unexpected recommendation, the Chevrolet dealership remained unaffected and quickly pointed out that the dealership owner also sold Ford vehicles, suggesting that the sale was still within their business.
