Anything is better than our current climate models.

I just checked, I’m exactly 104.9 nautical miles offshore from the nearest land in the Gulf.
I couldn’t disagree with you more. Over the last 25 years our weather forecasting has improved dramatically.
Now, your local weatherman’s interpretation of what the days chances of rain are is a completely different discussion. The weather data that saves lives has never been better

FWIW, really depends on whether you're talking about climate or weather.

Climate forecasts are generally terrible, agreed. Weather forecasts are incredibly accurate now.
Agreed. I was decidedly not referring to weather, only climate models.

There is flatearther that tried to debate ChatGPT on the shape of the Earth. He tried to get ChatGPT to admit that a spherical Earth was impossible and had to be flat.

Hertz customers outraged over AI-powered scanner that detects small marks, charges hundreds — including $440 for one-inch scuff
Interesting — we got a ~$800 bill a few weeks ago after returning our Hertz rental in Austria for small marks we couldn’t see at drop-off.
I am now trying to convince Chase CC to pay for that.

Hertz rented us a SUV in San Francisco. It was hectic. They didn't have what we'd reserved and this vehicle hadn't even been cleaned. It lasted us all the way almost to San Diego, including one one hundred mile stretch with no cell service, and a back tire went flat. Upon examination, it was almost bald, far below the CA tread requirement. We got it plugged and I had my wife take a closeup of me holding a quarter atop the tire, showing the lack of tread. They billed us $150 for damage to their tire. Now CA actually has a statute with some teeth, as a result of a consent settlement with car rental companies. I pointed this out to them, along with a copy of the photo. Man, did they reverse course in a hurry...
