Totally OT, but I thought you might find it interesting/amusing.
I just had an idea to test out the limits of AI understanding by
asking a free to use online AI engine to show me the fine-structure
constant to 20 decimal places.
It gave me an answer. To 20 decimal places. :-)
If any of you have an AI account somewhere, it would be interesting
to see if your AI provides a more intelligent answer...
In fairness to it, it did give me the correct value in the first
part of the reply (but with the information about our current
uncertainty in the last part of the value omitted).
It then added this to the reply:
|To present this value to 20 decimal places, we write it as:
|
|0.00729735256989182499
|
|This representation reflects the most precise measurements available and is |critical for various applications in quantum electrodynamics and other areas |of physics.
This is the query I used:
show the fine structure constant to 20 decimal places
:-)
Simon.
PS: I just asked it to display the value to 40 decimal places:
|To express this value to 40 decimal places, we can write it as:
|
|0.0072973525693 476896 238501 576287 978334
Note the two values don't even agree up to the 20 decimal places. :-) :-)
