Yeah that is weird. I wonder what the explanation for that could be.

Ai seems to to have contradicted itself from when I asked what the temperature was in space, as it now says:

Space itself has no temperature, as it is a vacuum. However, the temperature in space can vary greatly depending on the location and the time of day. The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit, and it is designed to maintain a comfortable temperature for humans.

The ISS is equipped with a thermal control system that regulates the temperature inside the station. The system uses a combination of insulation, heating, and cooling systems to maintain a temperature range of around 20-25°C (68-77°F). This is achieved through the use of specialized insulation materials, heat exchangers, and radiators that dissipate excess heat into space.

In addition to the thermal control system, the ISS is also equipped with airlocks that allow astronauts to enter and exit the station. These airlocks are designed to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for the astronauts, and they are equipped with specialized equipment to regulate the temperature and pressure inside the station.

Overall, the combination of the thermal control system and the airlocks allows humans to survive and thrive in the space station, despite the extreme temperatures and conditions of space.

As I have always said, Ai is a garbage in garbage out app. 🤣

Somewhat entertaining, but certainly not reliable as intelligence, much like a human. But then whay should we expect. 🤣

AI will make stuff up that sounds good.

As for the temp of space... There are areas of space with a lot of energy in them. Close in to a solar primary, for example. In a vacuum, there would be no temp as there is no matter for the energy to hit and heat up.

Thinking of it this way... this is why the facing side of Mercury is 790F and the night side is -270F. With no atmo to speak of, only the areas where the energy coming off the Sun is interacting with the matter it hits.

Same for an astronaut on a space walk in Earth orbit. In sunlight, you can heat up quick... move out of it and freeze. HVAC becomes REAL important quick.

Now think about how many different physical processes can cause “heat”... Not just the nuclear reactions from a star, but gravitational effects, friction, etc...

The Voyager’s use plutonium powered RTG’s that create their own heat from the nuclear decay to generate around 400W of power each. The tech has evolved over the decades...

Good explanation. 🙂👍

You are giving AI too much credit, for it takes a thinking human to pull off making up stuff that sounds good. AI can only produce an answer if it has information it has access to, from which its algorithms can work with to formulate a response that appears to be coming from an intelligent source. The amusing thing I find about Brave Browser's AI is that it more or less says that as the last statement generated, as follows:

AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts. Learn more

The learn more are links to the sources it used to generate its response. Hey at least that AI is being truthful. Many do not.

But this is one positive with regards to AI, that I appreciate as a music lover 🙂👍:

Turning at incredible speeds would not be a problem

sounds like what space alien spaceships can do according to reports.

Um, you are proceeding on something called faith. With the extreme distances involved, the probability that intelligent life has contacted Earth is remote. The most likely explanation is that these encounters with Advanced Aerospace Vehicles (AAV) is extra-dimensional either by human hands (CERN, et al.) or by supernatural powers beyond our ability to perceive, powers and authorities in the second heaven.
