The more I use ChatGPT, the more I agree with this policy. I asked it "Can you explain the difference classes of amateur radio licenses?", and it said this: > There are three classes of amateur radio licenses in the United States: Technician, General, and Extra. Each class of license has its own set of privileges and requirements. > > The Technician class license is the entry-level license for amateur radio operators. It allows the licensee to operate on all amateur radio frequencies above 30 megahertz, including the very popular 2-meter and 70-centimeter bands. Technician licensees are not allowed to use the HF (high-frequency) bands, which are the bands used for long-distance communication. > > The General class license is the intermediate level license. It allows the licensee to operate on all amateur radio frequencies, including the HF bands. General class licensees are also allowed to use higher-power transmitters and to operate certain types of equipment that are not available to Technician licensees. > > The Extra class license is the highest level of amateur radio license. It allows the licensee to operate on all amateur radio frequencies, including the HF bands, and to use the highest power levels allowed by law. Extra class licensees are also allowed to use a wider range of equipment and to operate in certain types of specialized modes, such as digital modes and satellite communications. > > To obtain an amateur radio license, an individual must pass a written examination administered by a team of volunteer examiners. The examination covers the rules and regulations governing the operation of amateur radio stations, as well as basic concepts in electronics and radio theory. The level of difficulty of the examination increases with each class of license, with the Extra class license being the most difficult to obtain. This seemingly very well-written answer is wrong in several ways. 1. Technician licensees are allowed to use certain small parts of some HF bands, with restrictions. 2. General licensees can use large portions of all *bands*, but there are Extra-only frequencies within many of the bands. 3. On VHF and higher bands, all licensees have exactly the same privileges. General licensees being able to use higher power than Technicians is true on HF bands, but it is not universally true. 4. Extra licensees have the same power limits General licensees do. 5. Virtually any transceiver that an Extra can use can also be used by a General licensee. 6. Even Technicians can use digital modes and satellites. All licensees can use all modes; they're just limited to certain frequencies. If/when a better AI for answering programming questions is developed, I think it would be helpful to have an authorized way to post AI answers such as [my suggestion from a previous answe][1], but having used ChatGPT more, I've realized that it isn't that AI (yet).
