People have a very poor conception of what is easy to find on the internet. The author is impressed by the story about Chat GPT telling his friend how to enable the sprinkler system for his kids. But I decided to try just googling it — “how do i start up a children's park sprinkler system that is shut off” — and got a Youtube video that shows the same thing, plus a lot of posts with step by step directions. No AI needed. Certainly no evidence of advanced thinking.
