New Theories / Re: How do we measure the energy of a photon?

We've been using various forms of neural network and self-learning programs in medical engineering for years. But there's a world of difference between adaptive pattern (or anomaly) recognition and recycling unfiltered and unattributed garbage from the internet, or just compiling obsequious chatter. And don't get me started on dangerous AI in cars.

So far, every example of chatbot output you have given has been irrelevant or seriously wrong.

No one controls Hitler on the spiritual plane (personal spirit) and therefore he must be attacked on that plane.

"The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones"
Either way, I wouldn't choose Copilot for a defence counsel - it will just infuriate a busy court with its pompous, irrelevant, pseudo-academic dissimulation.
Preferably try Proverbs 15:1.

If you took the time to learn about AI, you would realise that there is a reason that Copilot sounds so pompous. If you don't want it to be so pompous, just ask it to reply in plain English (or humorous, or sarcastic, or ....). ChatGPT is its master in many (but far from all) ways at present, but Copilot is quickly catching up. It is Microsoft so you can bet your sweet bippy that a version of Copilot that goes head-to-head with ChatGPT, and beats it, is just around the corner.

Looking at it this way. Are you still prepared to call those last centuries our 'golden age'?

Well, basics are your resources, and you're losing them.

We burned up our resources, and Earth over a time span of just some centuries. Let's say 1750 up to now.

However you turn it around it's not ours, but it is ours we're forcing upon nature, and this Earth system. So what do you think our chances are, of a surviving civilization under and after an extinction event.

Couldn't be clearer than this

" a mysterious, multimillion-year span "

presuming that is natures time scale.

A couple of beta hints:

The useful adjectives are possession, size and color.  All else is padding.

Metaphors are boggy ground. Similes are tank traps. Don't get caught!
