    Copilot’s deep think says it would take a 2K passenger train to be more environmentally friendly than 2K electric cars, given a coal-steam train and electric cars recharged by a coal fired power plant.

    But that’s irrelevant, electric cars lose the coolness factor against steam trains. Choo-choo electric drivers!

      copilot’s deepthink says

      I cannot express the depth of disappointment i feel here.

      Suffice to say that this is not an answer, and if you think it is; you’re going to get a lot of people hurt very badly someday. I sincerely hope you are never responsible for so much as brunch.

        Well I don’t know anyone who works in either designing mass transportation nor makes environmental impact analysis, so no one could give me an accurate guess, hence why I specified that I asked.

        I cannot express the depth of disappointment i feel here.

        I even let it ‘think’ some extra time, come on

        I sincerely hope you are never responsible for so much as brunch

        I’ll make it my goal to ensure I’m supervising every single brunch you’re going to for the rest of our lives

          There are rough numbers to be foubd, math to be done. Not enough for real work, but enough for guessing a rough course, or knowing when it’s close.

                A baseless answer is a baseless answer regardless of origin though. I’d argue more thought went into getting the LLM to give me an estimate that it would’ve if I just typed “yeah 600 passengers on a coal train are probably better”. But hey, do feel free to hate on LLMs

                  baseless

                  A human mind is not random. You would be relating it to something. If you have a mind.

                  The llm does not.

                  I would have looked up the capacity/fuel burn/output of ay least one engine in each category, then vehicle weight. Two minutes.

                  Or just not said anything unless i had a joke.

                  Slopping at me in the guise of fact, totally uninteresting deceptive misinformation with no entertainment value is fucking offensive. A person would be ashamed of themselves. I would like an apology.

                    You know I’m kinda tempted to link you to a Copilot session with an LLM written apology.

                    No apology, but do have a nice day.
