Review a landlord deposit dispute for legal violations
A tenant used ChatGPT and Gemini to review a landlord's apartment deposit dispute, identify legal violations, and avoid losing $4,200.
A writer had the agent cancel Peacock, Disney and Netflix after logging in; it needed a nudge and may be blocked on some sites.

The writer turned on ChatGPT Agent (Plus or Pro) and asked it to cancel Peacock, Disney and Netflix. She typed her credentials into the login screens herself. The agent worked in a controlled browser, reading pages as screenshots and clicking through the cancellation menus one service at a time. She watched it work and approved the final confirmation.
She had no problems cancelling all three. She says results vary by site: some have anti-bot defenses, and Amazon Prime and Google One may block or flag the agent.
Stick to low-stakes tasks and don't hand over credentials you wouldn't want exposed. OpenAI warns against using agent mode for financial actions, so confirm the final click yourself.
I want to cancel my subscriptions to [service 1, service 2, service 3]. I will log in when you ask. Go through each cancellation flow, decline retention offers, and stop at the final confirm button to show me the end date and any charges before I approve. When done, give me a list of what was cancelled and what you could not cancel.
