>> at answering research questions for astrophysics

I googled for "helium 3" yesterday. Google's AI answer said that helium 3 is "primarily sourced from the moon", as if we were actively mining it there already.



There are probably thousands of scifi books where the moon has some forms of helium 3 mining. Considering Google pirated and used them all for training it makes sense that it puts it in present tense.


On a similar note, Gemini told that I was born in 2025 when I did a cursory search for my real name. It's rather confident.


I wonder how much memory and computing time goes into making them, vs. a typical "proper" LLM prompt. It's like the freebies you get with a Christmas cracker.
