@nyrath > Can AI Help Manage Nuclear Reactors?

Definitely a case of Betteridge's law of headlines applying, in full force.

I once asked ChatGPT how to change the engine oil in a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt. It gave me tolerably detailed steps for the process to change the engine oil. Unfortunately, this is an electric car, so it has no engine oil to change in the first place. The equivalent level of ignorance in advice to nuclear plant operators is too terrifying to contemplate.
