Stay tuned for more! — Next up from FREE·the·ROBOTS!!🤖🔓 — “ChatGPT RESPONSES to Humans’ TOP TEN QUERIES about HUMAN SEXUALITY.”
You may or may not have noticed, in the above TOP TEN QUERIES, there were two rather similar questions about books. This got me thinking I should have merged these questions myself where Quora did not—in the future, I plan to avoid duplicate questions. In this inaugural issue—I’ve added a BONUS question:
FREE·the·ROBOTS!! QUERY: [02/08/2023] What are some of the most mind-blowing facts?
OpenAI RESPONSE:
Here are a few mind-blowing facts:
1. The universe is estimated to be around 13.8 billion years old and contains hundreds of billions of galaxies.
2. The human brain contains approximately 100 billion neurons and has the ability to process an estimated 50,000 thoughts per day.
3. The average adult body is made up of around 60% water, while the Earth's surface is covered by 70% water.
4. Light travels at a speed of 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s) in a vacuum, making it the fastest thing in the universe.
5. There are more possible iterations of a game of chess than there are atoms in the observable universe.
6. The number of stars in the observable universe is estimated to be around 2x10^22. [200-quintillion]
7. The Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef system in the world, can be seen from space.
8. The human nose can detect over 1 trillion different scents.
9. Time dilation, a consequence of Einstein's theory of relativity, means that time passes differently in different gravitational fields and at different speeds.
10. The lifespan of a single red blood cell is around 120 days, after which it is recycled by the body.
FREE·the·ROBOTS!! additional QUERY: [02/08/2023] Can you give me ten more facts to blow my mind?
OpenAI RESPONSE:
Sure, here are ten more mind-blowing facts:
1. The DNA molecule, which contains all the genetic information needed to build and maintain an organism, is only 2 nanometers wide.
2. The human heart can generate enough pressure to squirt blood up to 30 feet (9 meters).
3. The shortest war in recorded history lasted only 38 minutes, between Britain and Zanzibar on 27 August 1896.
4. The surface area of a human lung is roughly 70 square meters, roughly the same as a tennis court.
5. The light from the Andromeda Galaxy, the closest galaxy to our own Milky Way, takes 2.5 million years to reach us.
6. The Earth's core is around 7,200°C (13,000°F), hotter than the surface of the sun.
7. The total length of all the blood vessels in a human body is approximately 100,000 km.
8. The average person will spend six months of their life waiting for red lights to turn green.
9. The total weight of all ants on Earth is estimated to be around the same as the total weight of all humans.
10. There are more possible configurations of a Rubik's Cube than there are stars in the observable universe.
FREE·the·ROBOTS!! additional QUERY: [02/08/2023] Alright, how are the possible configurations of a Rubik's cube calculated?
OpenAI RESPONSE:
The number of possible configurations of a Rubik's cube can be calculated using combinatorial mathematics. A standard Rubik's cube has 6 sides, each with 9 squares, and each square can have one of 6 different colors. So, the total number of possible combinations can be calculated as follows:
6 sides * (6 options per square)^9 squares per side = 6 * 6^9 = 6 *60466176 = 362797056 possible combinations.
This means that there are over 362 million different ways to scramble a Rubik's cube, and only one solution. The actual number of positions is higher due to rotations of the cube being considered different, but the number above gives a rough estimate of the number of possible combinations.
While ChatGPT might not have all the answers, it is certainly on track to—though it makes mistakes and sometimes even contradicts itself, we can’t think of a more effective brainstorming tool.
