You are bold to change plugs!!
Agree with you in general. I would add things like simple sewing and cooking, and gluing of broken items and shoes, etc. But not to actually change plugs (see below).
A story - I decided to teach my girls how to change plugs (years ago now), only to reliase that, these days, most appliances come with plugs sealed onto the cables! I learned to change plugs as a girl, and it came in very useful when I studied overseas as I lived in a very old building with a type of plug (now obsolete) that adaptors couldn't be found for. I had to change the plugs for my rice cooker, kettle and hairdryer when I moved in, and also had to change the plug of my hairdryer at the beginning and end of each vacation! My father never envisioned that his lesson would come in so useful.
I always think one needs proper license to change plugs like a driver needs license to drive on the road.
It is about the safety of everyone. One wrong move can bring down a whole house!
Nevertheless, kudos to your skills mastered.

Hmm.. Those not well informed will take it as truth. You are well informed so you know how to put thing in perspective with the answer given to you by ChatGPT? :rahrah: still call for discerning users? :nunchuk:
To be fair to ChatGPT, this question has no answer yet.
ChatGPT is not designed to do future prediction, perhaps not yet...never know how fancy Elon Musk and his team will go.
Computing is always GIGO.
1. If a question is still in a state of confusion, the answer is surely confused, can't blame ChatGPT.
2. If a question has a definitive answer existing somewhere, then if ChatGPT makes the mistake, it is a programming fault. (that's your point which is valid if a definitive answer exists)
3. If a question has a definitive answer existing somewhere, then if ChatGPT makes no mistake no matter how the question is being asked, then you know ChatGPT is getting as close as you know to a real human and better. It is definitely a possibility because answering something with a definitive answer is their forte that no man can beat. -

It's very simple as long as you remember the basic principles. And while you're doing it, it's not connected to electricity. With circuit breakers now, the risk is low to the building even if you get it wrong. My father taught me when I was in my teens. But the skill is now obsolete!

With the high cost of labour now, we need to prepare our kids to do more DIY. -

I think what's important for people to know is ChatGPT could potentially pose as a problem in the long run.
Hmm.. Those not well informed will take it as truth. You are well informed so you know how to put thing in perspective with the answer given to you by ChatGPT? :rahrah: still call for discerning users? :nunchuk:
And both times ChatGPT gave different answers. So it boiled down to “luck” what the users get?
It's current state is not it's invincible state yet but know that it can become invincible with time and it's not just ChatGPT.
Ignorance is making us contributing to its growth to become invincible because we love free clouds.
So legislation bodies need to get their act together faster than the building of these apps and watch vigilantly.
Specifically for your question, the ChatGPT is actually intelligent enough to \"predict\" that these are the 2 possible answers based on currently available information, just not able to put both together and articulate that properly yet as possible answers and hence look like 2 disjoint answers. -

That's true with the circuit breakers.

Still, if one does not do it often enough like a regular job, it's still dangerous especially if one forgets wet hands handling when the power is turned back on. :yikes:
Maybe I am paranoid. It really depends on the person. I figured you are meticulous enough and have a good memory so it's fine. -
Hahaha my accountant-trained hubs was often mistaken as someone with a vocational training license as he can do many handyman jobs……he even said he wanna set up a volunteer organisation to help people with those handyman jobs…. I asked him how he did it (ie his skill sets), he said it’s actually not difficult to follow YouTube’s…. I said no thanks hahaha…… in fact amongst my peers most prefer to outsource at any small repairs works in the house……

Same with my software-trained hubs.. maybe it a technical guy kind of thing? But occasionally he breaks things too while trying to fix them haha. Just last night I saw him watching YouTube trying to repair a laptop.. and last week he broke a thermometer while fixing the battery..

These DIY things - some people absolutely love it and some, absolutely dislike it, though I would say the culture in Singapore is far less DIY than in Western countries. Some people can change their own ceiling fans, install vinyl flooring (overlay), change taps, paint rooms etc.
The only DIY thing I enjoy is assembling Ikea furniture - can be fun and therapeutic - having an electric screwdriver helps a lot! Anything else, no thank you. -

You have to make a few mistakes when learning anything. As long as the mistakes are not life-threatening, it's OK.
