Asking Open AI How to Change Impeller on 5.5Hp Johnson

[OptsyEagle]

I have changed this impeller a couple times but for kicks I thought I would ask this new artificial intelligence (AI) the question on how to change this impeller. Below is my question and the answer Open AI gave. Not bad. Left out the issue of removing the powerhead and the water intake hose comes out of the pump all on its own. At this point, I find Open AI is only helpful if you already know the answer to the question...which kind of takes away a lot of its value. I imagine it will improve.

Question for Open AI: How Do I Change the Impeller on a 1961 5.5Hp Johnson Outboard
----------------------------------
Open AI's Answer:

Replacing the impeller on a 1961 5.5hp Johnson outboard motor can be a bit tricky, but it can be done with some basic mechanical skills and a few tools. Here are the general steps to follow:

1. Start by removing the lower unit from the motor. You will need to disconnect the shift rod, the water intake hose, and the four bolts that hold the lower unit in place.
2. Once the lower unit is removed, you will need to remove the water pump housing cover. This is held in place by a few screws, so simply remove them and lift the cover off.
3. Remove the old impeller from the housing. This may require a bit of effort, as the impeller can sometimes become stuck in the housing. Use pliers or a screwdriver to carefully pry the impeller out of the housing.
4. Install the new impeller into the housing. Be sure to align the impeller blades in the correct direction. You may need to use a bit of lubricant to help the impeller slide into place.
5. Reassemble the water pump housing cover, making sure that all screws are tightened securely.
6. Reinstall the lower unit, being sure to reconnect the shift rod and water intake hose.
7. Test the motor to ensure that water is flowing through the cooling system properly. You can do this by running the motor in a large bucket or in the water.

It's important to follow these steps carefully to ensure that the impeller is installed correctly and that the cooling system is working properly. If you're not comfortable performing these steps yourself, it's best to have a professional mechanic do the job for you.

well it did tell you to disconnect the shift rod....

maybe that part need a second question

not just oceans.... for the past 5-6 years my lake St-Francis 25x4 miles no longer provides me with a decent perch catch to make a family supper and our Québec biologists thinks using minnows is detemental and spreads some fish bug... .except minnows from Ontario swim freely in the same lake ...go figure. And now we are being invaded by large " white fish" I have never seen in the past 60 years....and I amcertain they love perch caviar.

they do not allow any king of minnows dead alive or frozen ..we can't even use spotted gobbies to kill them off ! :-(

The list of human mistakes just gets longer and longer.----Much of this also has to do with a quest for convenience that never ends.

How do you disconnectt heshift rod on a 1961 5.5 hp

I did follow up by asking it how to disconnect the shift rod on a 1961 5.5Hp Johnson Outboard and it got a lot worse. It was hard to tell precisely where the answer was going but I think it thought the disconnect was between the lower unit and the midsection, like it is on many other motors. Even if it was the answer would not have helped you too much.

I find AI sounds good if you have no idea what the answer should be but unfortuneately it can't seem to get enough right answers to actually be of help. It is certainly confident however and that is where the danger is I think. Being wrong and confident can be a nasty combination.

probably not. as todays programmers trust the AI.......

We all better see this as writing on the wall. This is only the beginning.
I hope you all realize that this very post as we write it, ends up in the computer file of the AI setup.
Before too long we will be able to have a conversation with the AI computer just like we used to see on star track. It ,he ,she(according to your choice) will engage in conversation in whatever language and whatever accent and it will only get better as time goes by. We had better lobby for very strict limits on what it is allowed to do ,before it tells us what we can and cannot do.
Try and read a book called "he she and it" If I remember correctly it was written by Marge Piercy.
