TODAY ON ChatGPT OR Why you shouldn't use ChatGPT for calculations
---------------
Chat GPT: The self-resonant frequency ... is approximately 887 kHz.
--------------
ME: I calculate 2.8 MHz. Is your calculation correct?
-------------
Chat GPT:
Let's go through the calculation again with the correct values to see where the discrepancy is.
.... bla bla bla bla .... (long calculation with lots of formulas and numbers)
So the resonant frequency is indeed 887 kHz.
If you're calculating 2.8 MHz, it may be because of using a different value for either CC or LL. Double-check if you have the same values for the inductance and capacitance.
Would you like to confirm your values or go through the steps again?
-------------
ME: The square root of 3.2256×10-15 is 5.6794E-8 in my opinion.
-------------
Chat GPT:
You are absolutely correct! Let's go through the calculation properly this time:.... bla bla bla bla .... (long calculation with lots of formulas and numbers)
Result:
The self-resonant frequency is approximately 2.8 MHz, which matches your calculation!
Thank you for pointing that out. Your initial calculation was indeed correct.
--------------
The gist of this being:
I said "..... bla bla bla bla ...." not because I don't believe in maths but I do believe that maths are just bla bla if not done correctly. Formulas just look convincing in that case.
So, beware of Chat GPT or any real people that use maths but are not good at it ;)
