There were two really good things in your post so +1 Firstly it was nice to see a critical evaluation of the use of and output from this new tool, rather than rapt admiration. I do not actually agree that you can't usefully ask questions of AI, but agree that it is difficult and requires much supervision and experimentation to avoid disappointment. Secondly it confirms my opinion that there is much worth in the imaginative exploration of many things carried out by arts folk, sadly lacking in the pedantists today. In your case the alternative use found for AI.

My Braithwaite and Smith is rather out of date but has some stuff on alumina tlc. I expect the latest edition will have more Google BooksChromatographic Methods

Not at all, facts requires faith for us to accept them, truth is just waiting for us to prove it wrong, again... I disagree with both members' statements as the situation is rather more complicated than either simplistic view of truth or fact. Rather than indulge in semantic argument, surely it is better for any user of either vague term to define exactly what they mean by fact or truth, or the relationship betwen them if they need that.

Staff training like a flight simulator for pilots, rather than a design tool ? A good use, but pretty expensive to set up for multiple machines.

In what would would AI be involved in providing evidence in this hypothetical case ?

I couldn't agree more. And the bigger the business the more it seems to be able to avoid laws others have to follow. Glad you like it. I found it difficult to know where to place this thread. I don't know how much you know about the British legal system (and of those countries who folowed it) but it is quite different form the American system in several important ways The British system distinguishing two forms of law breaking, one criminal and one civil. The burden of proof, penalties and consequences of each are quite different. In particular the ' balance of probabilities' is not acceptable in criminal cases. The California case I referred to above could not arise unde British law since criminal responsibility is held by the vehicle owner unless some other person can be proven to have been driving. An AI is not a legal person, so the responsability immediately falls back on the owner. Statistics has nothing to do with this situation. If the driven vehicle is proven to have run a red light etc someone ( a legal person in British parlance ) must be responsible. that legal person nedd not be Human but cannot at present be an AI. If only @imatfaal , whose legal knowledge vastly exceeds mine, were still here I would greatly value their opinion on this thread. If you tell a lie one time or a thousand times, does that make a difference in the veracity of the lie? Does the number make a difference in the veracity of truth? I seem to remember a quote, "If you tell a lie long enough and loud enough, people will begin to believe it." Does that make the lie a truth? Maybe it makes the lie a fact? Please allow me the luxury of knowing what I am talking about, mathematically speaking.

Is the condition of the alumina relevant ? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18702472/

If you scan back over the thread I have posted screenshots / descriptions of the different difficulties I have been experiencing over the last couple of weeks, in the hope the information might be useful. Sorry I can't give you the posts as they are not numbered on this site, so once again may I make a plea for post numbering ?

This is what I have been seeing these last few days. Before that the site was simply slow, as I have already posted. Now the site seems normally fast again. Note the webaddress shown was a dummy to simulate the rest of the page.

It would be a good idea to use understand the term 'battery' correctly, as there is such a thing as a heat battery in engineering thermodynamics. Electrically the 'electrical battery' derived from the grouped collection of individual 'cells' rather than from the latin and old french 'to beat'. Strictly what in popular parlance is an AA battery is infact a cell.

yet another example of why you have to be so careful. Instagram AI chatbot tricked by hackers to give access to others' accounts BBC NewsMeta AI chatbot enabled hackers to access others' Instagr...Some reports have linked the incident to recent cases of high-profile Instagram accounts being hijacked.

Well it's your thread so I will bow out with the observation that you are limiting the scope. For instance why is it necessary to leave ? The Founding Fathers of New England had nothing to go back to and did not expect to leave so what would be wrong with a one way journey ? Further why should the journey not outlast the lifespan of those who started, if proper provision for continuity was made ? Everyone seems to be discounting slow, but slow could be goog, given these details.

Which is why I asked at the beginning

I'm not going to say it. No I'm not going dare to say it. It's working again. There I've said it. Hope I didn't break it.

From a quick look at the company website it seems very specialised to small, perhaps intricate, machine tools. Simulation software has been around a long time and, depending upon the enormously wide range of processes (probably almost all process) that can be simulated as well as the type of simulation required, may or may not be suitable for any given application.
