- NegativeK 3y agoPersonally, I wouldn't even waste a lawyer's _free_ time in asking them that.
- ketchupdebugger 3y agomaybe you can ask lawyer_bot powered by chatgpt to represent you in court
- DeathArrow 3y agoIf the judge uses ChatGPT too, I feel I am in a good position.
- wlonkly 3y agoIn the US (where the dealer with the chatbot is), manufacturers sell cars to dealers, and dealers sell cars to customers. (Tesla bypassing this arrangement was a big deal at the time, but I can't remember how that turned out.) So in this case it would be between the customer and "Chevrolet of Watsonville", but were someone to take it to court, the court would probably find that one of the requirements of contract, "meeting of the minds", was not met -- or that the website (including the chatbot) was an invitation to treat, not an offer, since the contract process for car sales is standardized.
