That’s such a great analogy. I always say GPT is like the genius that completely lacks common sense. One of my favorite things is when I asked it why the WiFi wasn’t working, and showed it a photo of our wiring. It said that I should tell support:

> “My media panel has a Cat6 patch panel but no visible ONT or labeled RJ45 hand-off. Please locate/activate the Ethernet hand-off for my unit and tell me which jack in the panel is the feed so I can patch it to the Living Room.”

Really, GPT? Not just “can you set up the WiFi”??!

I'm curious what you would have expected it to reply given the input you provided?
Er, I said it in my post, but calling support and saying “can you set up the WiFi” would have been fine.
