Same experience, I thought using chatGPT to find some fairly specific things to buy would be a slam dunk, but it couldn’t provide links half the time and also failed to hold to criteria like shipping region etc. I would tell it to give direct links and it would mostly just say ”go on Amazon and search for X”.

There’s a special type of frustration when an LLM is close to being useful but just… isn’t.

I've had much more luck with perplexity. Still not perfect but at least works better.
