1-800-ChatGPT actually works, and an elderly neighbor now uses it as free tech support

The author tried OpenAI's 1-800-ChatGPT hotline and confirms it works, calling the experience very early-90s cyberpunk, like Moviephone. In a quoted tweet, an elderly neighbor whose phone warned she'd been hacked got help via ChatGPT voice, which explained what happened and what not to do; since she couldn't remember her password to install the app, the author saved the number as a contact so she can call anytime. Takeaway: AI for seniors still has huge low-hanging fruit.
