I'm preparing a lecture about whether AI has scientific understanding. What can I say.
Me: "When Archimedes jumped out of the bath, shouting Eureka, what happened to the level of the bath water?"
ChatGPT (representative part of longer answer): "When he jumped out of the bath, the volume of water that his body displaced was no longer present in the bath. Therefore, the level of the bathwater would have risen temporarily to fill the space left by Archimedes' body."
