My Canon IXUS 60 suddenly stopped responding to all buttons except the power button and shutter button. I’m wondering whether this model has any kind of button/key lock that I may have enabled by accident. If not, is there anything simple I can try before assuming the camera has failed?

I owned the very similar IXUS 70 for a large number of years and don't recall such a function existing on that camera; similarly I can't find any mention of such a function in the manual on Canon's web site.
Therefore my hypothesis is:
- ChatGPT is lying ("hallucinating", whatever you want to call it)
- Something more fundamental is wrong with the camera. I would (as suggested in a comment) actually take the battery out completely for 24 hours and see if that helps, but if not you may just have to accept that your 18 year old camera has done pretty well and can now be retired; it's not worth getting it repaired.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The IXUS 60 does not appear to have a button-lock function, and users familiar with similar models do not recall one either. So this is unlikely to be a setting you accidentally turned on.
A simple thing to try is a full power reset: remove the battery completely and leave it out for a while (one community suggestion was 24 hours), then reinstall it and test the camera again.
If that does not help, the most likely cause is a hardware fault due to age rather than a user setting. On a camera this old, repair is usually not worthwhile unless it has special sentimental value.
