I Asked ChatGPT What WIRED’s Reviewers Recommend—Its Answers Were All Wrong

WIRED’s Gear Reviews team publishes hands-on buying guides and frequent updates.

OpenAI recently updated ChatGPT’s product recommendation features and announced an AI shopping assistant.

In tests, ChatGPT returned incorrect WIRED recommendations, inserting products not in the guides.

Examples include listing an LG QNED Evo Mini‑LED TV and AirPods Max 2 as WIRED picks when they were not.
