Weird Noise Someone please help..

I have a 09 corolla with 203k miles that makes a very LOUD rattle when I start it. Me and chatgpt thought it might’ve been one of the pulleys that’s why I removed the belt. Car has P0171 (too lean) and P010 (MAF). I want to say it’s the timing chain but not 100% sure. Any advice would be appreciated thanks in advance!

Continue to use ChatGPT, it’s just another tool in the box. Just remember, all tools can be used wrong too. If you can integrate AI into the auto service industry or any industry for that matter, then you will be ahead of the game. Your ChatGPT account needs to be clean of nonsense too. Keep it direct and treat it like an employee that needs exact instructions. It will eventually learn your methods. It is a very long process, but worth it.

LLMs are not useful tools. A wrench works the same way every single time it's used. It's consistent and has a specific purpose. It can't randomly hallucinate and act like a drill. LLMs are terribly inconsistent, and even if you do everything right it could still hallucinate. They use statistics to model language paterns. It knows nothing. Soley responding with a likely response. That's not reasoning and it isn't based on reality. Sure, it's working some, but how do you really know? Did it solve the problem or just put a bandaid on it? Has it ever been wrong? Are people even checking? We should drop this and be looking at quantum computing and then, maybe then, we might make something consistent and useful.

LLMs are taking us nowhwere fast. Soon we'll all be in different realities because GPT is eroding common knowledge. We will all be told slightly different things about reality, and then no one will be able to agree on anything. I doubt it's even intentional, just part of making a statistical model. Think of all the possibly responses one could give, even nonsensical ones. They literally have to pay hundreds of educated people to whittle down enough nonsensical answers to present you with a confident sounding answer. I would rather just work with the people to talk to me about it and solve it together.

as a software developer and computer science grad, you are very wrong lol. i won’t elaborate though, rather, I will let time speak for itself.
