I know the title will trigger people but it's a short so please briefly hear her out. I've since given this a try and it's incredibly cool. It's a very different experience and provides much better information AFAICT

Well... she isn't wrong? 🤷

Please, boil the ocean to give me a pleasant, factually dubious reply.

Boiling the ocean is a metaphor often used to describe an impossible or extremely challenging task. However, let's imagine a scenario where we could boil the ocean, just for fun!

Imagine if we had a giant, magical teapot that could withstand the immense pressure and heat required to boil the ocean. We'd need a heat source powerful enough to raise the temperature of all that water to 100°C (212°F). Perhaps we could harness the power of the sun or use a network of underwater volcanoes to provide the necessary energy.

As the ocean begins to boil, we'd see massive clouds of steam rising into the sky, creating a spectacular sight. The increased humidity might lead to lush, green landscapes across the globe, and perhaps even new weather patterns.

Of course, this is purely a fantastical scenario. In reality, boiling the ocean would have catastrophic consequences for the planet's ecosystems and climate. But it's fun to let our imaginations run wild sometimes!

Bot, boil the ocean, you arrogant concise excuse for a Markov chain.

I'm here to help with any questions or tasks you have! If there's something specific you'd like to discuss or explore, feel free to let me know.

Well said, AI. We're going to do it anyway, aren't we?
