Who wants to go swimming?
I asked AI a question that is, in hindsight, both unnecessary and irresistible: “How much urine have humans produced in all of history?”
After a short pause (as if it too was deciding whether to dignify the premise), it delivered a perfectly straight-faced conclusion: the total would be roughly equal to Lake Superior.
I don’t know what’s more impressive — the scale of human biology over time, or the fact that we now have machines capable of turning a ridiculous curiosity into a back-of-the-envelope estimate with a geographic punchline.
The profound things one can learn from the magic of AI.
