Copilot Trained on Restaurant Reviews

Just what I want when I'm looking for information about a restaurant! An improv partner that hallucinates bullshit when I ask simple questions. Here was my experience: https://imgur.com/a/qRVO2DW

I'm honestly so over this stuff. Yeah, LLMs are cool tech and awesome for a few select use cases, but this is just an objectively poor concept for a service--to have any utility, this thing needs to be fairly accurate about things like menu options and pricing, and I can't imagine getting a better experience from a chatbot than a curated database like Google Maps or, you know, the restaurant website.

The big selling point here appears to be "personalized" recommendations, which I'm sure is code for "our service builds a dossier on you, then lets businesses bribe us for access to it; or, if we manage to build your trust, we'll also let businesses bribe us to skew our recommendations in their favor."

The latter case is how Google Maps works, but at least in their case the information you get around all the hyper-targeted advertisements is relatively accurate. We don't need more sleazy "platform" companies trying to plant themselves in the middle of value streams that exist because of Maslow's hierarchy, and the very last thing we need is companies that do this atop the half-baked technology du jour and end up serving up a steaming pile of functionally worthless spyware.
