Outcome
SriSakthi Saravana Prabhu's younger child had a Kannada exam the next day after a week off school with fever, and the textbook was likely left at school. The parent can speak Kannada but can't read or write it, and the exam questions come from the exercises at the end of each lesson. They found the Grade 3 textbook as a PDF on the Karnataka education portal and uploaded it to ChatGPT. Within seconds it gave answers, and the child confirmed they were the ones needed. Some pages came back without answers, but uploading those pages separately filled the gaps.

Carlos Mendoza's 4th-grade son marked only B and F as correct in a Santillana exercise on numbers up to the billions. The platform's solution marked B, D and F, but D said '9,615 rounded to the billions is 10,000', which is false. When Mendoza asked ChatGPT to review it, it first said Santillana was right, reading 'billions' as if it were 'thousands'. Only when Mendoza pointed to the exact word did ChatGPT acknowledge the error. The son had been right from the beginning.

When a dryer took three hours to dry a load (normally 45 minutes), Lisa-Anne Chung showed ChatGPT the model number, the parts that weren't working and the pipes at the back over a video chat. It identified the model from a photo, walked Chung through checks such as whether the burner glowed and listening for clicks, gave a shortlist of likely causes, and suggested Sunnyvale repair companies via Yelp with a fair diagnostic fee. Chung says they had a solid hypothesis in about 10 minutes and could talk knowledgeably when they called a repair company.
