Human versus Artificial Intelligence; various significant examples in astrophysics
Abstract
In a recent arXiv posting [1] I reported the result of an experiment: asking Perplexity.ai to compare three items concerning (ordinary) Gamma Ray Burts (GRBs): the data, the standard paradigm(s) and the "Cannonball" (CB) model. Here I ask the same URL to extend this comparison to long--lasting GRBs, binary Neutron-Star mergers and their associated short--hard GRBs, low--luminosity GRBs, X--ray flashes, X--ray transients, and non--solar cosmic rays. The results of this experiment are enlightening but worrisome. Except for this abstract, two footnotes and two other references to standard [2] and CB-model [3] articles and talks, all of what follows is, verbatim, what the cited AI "opines".
