If you are building a product with GPT in name, be aware

Hey everyone! After listening to Airbnb CEO and Co-Founder Brian Chesky's story about the early struggles and outrageous demands from investors on the "This Week in Startups" podcast, it got me thinking... What was the most challenging experience I've had as a founder? For me, it was when an investor told me that no one would ever use AI assistants in their daily lives - this was just before ChatGPT came into existence, mind you! Unfortunately, our entire business was built around this idea. What about you? What's the worst investor meeting horror story you've experienced? Let's hear it!

Yesterday I saw a product was launched and I liked it bought immediately (because there was no free trial) but I didn't like the product. Asked for a refund got a mail back saying they'll give me extra credits. But I asked for a refund and ... Dead silence :( Looking back at the product page there were quite a few testimonies and said that if you're not satisfied 100% money back. but I missed the biggest thing to note. Everyone was giving 5 stars, not even half a star less, everything was 5 stars. The last time I was fooled with fake reviews and ratings was 2.5 years back. Hope I'll be safe for the next 2.5 years at least. Share how you were fooled so that I'll feel less stupid. Thanks :)
