Now you have insulted my intelligence with that bit of creative writing... I didn’t just fall off a turnip truck.
I didn’t write that. Get back on the turnip truck.;-)
To demonstrate that I didn’t write that, give me a complex question for an AI platform (that I couldn’t answer quickly) and I’ll submit it and cut and paste its answer quickly.
I asked ChatGPT this question 2 minutes ago:
What was the Catholic Church's first response to the invention of the printing press? Give me text. No bullet points.ChatGPT said:
The Catholic Church initially responded to the invention of the printing press with cautious optimism. At first, Church authorities saw it as a useful tool for spreading Christian teachings and standardizing religious texts. The printing press allowed for the mass production of the Latin Vulgate Bible, liturgical works, and writings of Church Fathers, which aligned with the Church’s interest in preserving orthodoxy and promoting uniform doctrine.However, as unapproved texts, critiques of Church practices, and vernacular translations of the Bible began to circulate, Church officials grew increasingly wary. The spread of heretical ideas and unauthorized interpretations, particularly during the early stages of the Protestant Reformation, led the Church to clamp down on printed materials. By the late 15th century, it began instituting censorship mechanisms, including the Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Prohibited Books) and requiring ecclesiastical approval for publications. Thus, what began as a cautiously welcomed innovation quickly became a source of anxiety and control for the Church as it recognized the press’s potential to challenge its authority.
My question to ChatGPT:
In the moon shot of 1969, how did the astronauts get through the Van Allen Belt?ChatGPT's answer:
The Apollo 11 astronauts safely passed through the Van Allen radiation belts by carefully planning their trajectory to minimize exposure. NASA chose a flight path that skirted the thinner edges of the belts rather than going through their most intense regions, which are concentrated near the Earth's equator. Because the spacecraft was traveling at high speed, the astronauts spent only about 90 minutes within the radiation zones. This short duration significantly reduced their exposure.The spacecraft itself provided some shielding. While it wasn't lined with lead, the aluminum hull of the command module and internal materials offered enough protection against the lower levels of radiation encountered along the chosen path. NASA had calculated the expected radiation dose and determined it would be within safe limits for human exposure. In fact, the astronauts are estimated to have received between 0.18 and 1.14 rads, far below the levels considered harmful. With precise planning and fast transit, the Apollo missions managed to pass through the Van Allen belts without serious risk to the crew.
