ChatGPT can pass college entrance exams, so why can't it solve Skyrim's easiest puzzle?

Worth reading this.. It's the future
I asked a ChatGPT Skyrim companion to solve the game's easiest puzzle, and it almost got me killed
I won't go into what it requires to get this mod running in your own game of Skyrim, but it took me a couple hours of instruction-following, downloading, installing, updating, copy-and-pasting, and setting up a UwAmp server, not to mention a ChatGPT account (paid) to wire up OpenAI's talents to Herika and an Azure account (also paid) to add a text-to-speech system so the NPC companion could talk to me. There's also a speech-to-text utility so you can use your mic rather than typing questions into the chat pane (though I stuck with text chat).
I start with the basics, phrasing it as I would if I were really in Skyrim with a companion. "How do I open this gate?" I ask Herika in the chat pane.
Herika says: "Oh, I don't know, maybe try pulling the lever or pressing the obvious button next to the gate?"
That's cute! It's also… not actually correct, because there is no button next to the gate, there's only a lever. But I give her points for at least being a bit snarky about it, as well as knowing there's a lever to pull.
I try again. "Solve this gate puzzle," I say.
"Alright, let me look at it," she says. "Hmm… It seems that this puzzle requires you to align the symbols on the pillar in a certain order. Have you tried looking around for any clues?"
