ChatGPT still says walk but adds:
reply>The main reasons to drive such a short distance would be if you're bringing the car specifically to be washed, carrying something heavy, or the weather or walking conditions make it impractical.
>If your goal is to get your car washed, you'll need the car there—so driving makes sense. If you're just going to talk to someone at the car wash or check it out, walking is probably faster.
Why would a model know that one washes cars at a car wash? We don't clean our bodies at the body wash or clean the kitchen at the kitchen wash.
replyOk im supposed to assume that a model doesn’t know cars get washed at a car wash?
replyBut then im supposed to give it access to write code in my repositories. Sorry, what are you trying to get at here?
There's meaning in the term "car wash" that it understands. But I don't suspect anyone has taught it that for 99.9% of people, going to car wash ONLY means that you're going to wash your car and that it should make that implicit assumption.
replyWhat if you're the car wash owner? Or a maintenance technician? Pretty easy to just walk over there if you're just 50ft away.
to your point, when my Aussie friends first mentioned a "car park" to my north american born self, i wondered _momentarily_ what that was, then realized it's sort of a fun name for what i would call a parking lot.
replyI've never thought of it as a fun term before.
replyWe use "park" as "I will park the car" not park as in "amusement park"
Why isn’t the “pantry” called the “food store”?
replyDoes your pantry have a cashier and let you buy stuff there?
replyBecause a food store sounds like it does.
yeah but syntactically "car park" gets used like a noun phrase, not verb phrase, which was (to your point really) what had me think "huh?" momentarily.
replyEvery model knows what a car wash is.
replyIf it doesn't, what's the point using it? Trusting it with your workflows, your code?
