I'm going to leave you to your dusty echo chamber on the web. It's only there because people like me built it for you. Furthermore, a computer technician shouldn't have to point out to a Physicist and a Mathematician the foundational work Schwartz's Théorie des distributions written before they were born." Do it yourself. I'm out of here, account deleted.

You have become Idolaters of syntax and grammar, I'm dealing with priests of the page, not engineers of reality. And as for the Guessing machine you so rightly fear. Do you hear that sound the Ai makes?, its the sound of the 21st Century steam engine and you're the threshers of old. Science's reputation under siege like never before, and you not helping with this "Attitude".

OF COURSE, I wouldn't know, I cant ... I can no more tell you the correct syntax than i can tell you what the equation means! let alone its syntax!.

On PF, AI output is not considered to be a valid source, and this thread is an excellent example why. What you posted is an AI hallucination, and because you didn't know the material you didn't recognize it as a hallucination.

In my personal opinion, it is AI's reputation that is more in question today. The problem of hallucinations is becoming widely recognized. As AI technology advances, there may be some future fix to this issue, but today's AI's simply hallucinate too much to be reliable.

The thread is reopened, but I want to leave this exchange in place as a good example of why we currently have the policy that we do. We will continue to reevaluate the policy as new technology develops.
