"The company could have posted disclaimers warning users to ignore ChatGPT's claims, but instead chose a different path. "We ended up deciding: what the heck, we might as well meet the market demand," Holovaty explained. The team built an ASCII tab importer—a feature that had been "near the bottom of my 'Software I expected to write in 2025' list"—and updated their user interface to inform users about the new capability.

Soundslice's solution presents an interesting case of making lemonade from lemons, but for Holovaty, the situation raises philosophical questions about product development. "My feelings on this are conflicted," he wrote. "I'm happy to add a tool that helps people. But I feel like our hand was forced in a weird way. Should we really be developing features in response to misinformation?""
