The other day, I had a discussion with @Pat Hartman where I explained on few occasions, Chatgpt has told me it doesn't have enough information on the question I've asked and can not answer.
I had another first-time-experience with Chatgpt and I thought I should share it here, maybe someone finds it useful.
I've set my phone to lock/unlock our home's front door when I'm within 5 meters of the entrance (using GPS). So I don't need to carry door's key.
My recent problem was that when my phone locks/unlocks the door, the notification sound was just like other sounds and I couldn't be sure if the phone behaves correctly.
So I tried to change the sound of the notification for locking to a specific sound.
But the more I dived into my phone's settings, the less I could find something to do the job.
I asked for Chatgpt help, and was given 8 possible ways, which none of them worked.
Frustrated of the AI's stupidity, I started my own research and 30 minutes later, I found a readit page which described the new versions of Sony, has a hidden advanced setting that prevents changing sound per apps. I had to deactivate that setting first to be able to do what I want.
Me, glad of having found the answer, went back and explained that Chatgpt's given solutions all were correct, and it didn't work because of a new settings in the latest update of my phone.
Chatgpt was (or at least showed to be) very excited and insisted to explain what I had found. I explained the steps, but it seems that the AI doesn't believe humans. I was asked for the source page, or something that AI can have a reference to, which I gave it the link. For a few seconds there was a message that AI is scanning the page. and later Chatgpt thanked me and asked me to test its new information. I was asked to put my question in different terms, and check if the answer it offers is correct.
So, if AI fails to give a correct answer to your question, and you find the solution later, you may want to go back to the AI and offer the solution. It may help others.
