For this to be useful they need up to date information, so it just Googles shit and reads Reddit comments. I just don't see how that is likely to be any better than Googling shit and reading Reddit comments yourself.
If they had some direct feed of quality product information it could be interesting. But who would trust that to be impartial?

If the answer is "no because that's an ad", well, how do you know that the output from ChatGPT isn't all just products that have bought their rank in the results?
