"What's the half-life of a proton?"
NeevaAI:
>The half life of a proton is at least 1.67x1034 years. Recent developments of grand unification models have suggested that it might decay with a half-life of about 1032 years.
Note that the lack of exponents are reproduced from the original. Neeva says 1032 years, not 10^32 years. The linked source for 1032 displays the 32 as a proper exponent, but Neeva seems to strip this critical formatting.
- Imnimo 4y ago"Which is heavier, a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of steel?" NeevaAI: A kilogram of steel is heavier than a kilogram of feathers. This is because any volume of steel is heavier than the same volume of feathers. Additionally, the weight of the feathers must also be taken into account when considering the weight of the feathers.

- xyos 4y agosame for current president of Colombia NeevaAI: The current president of Colombia is Iván Duque Márquez.1 He was elected on June 17, 2018 and is serving a four-year term from 2018-2022.1 He is the 14th president of Colombia since the ratification of the Constitution of 1819.

- pclmulqdq 4y agoThis is the power of AI in search - giving you bad facts because the provider is too lazy to scrape them from the appropriate source.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoWhat is the appropriate source for this fact? You make it seem like there's a $ curl https://www.world-monarchs.info/current/britain/ https://www.world-monarchs.info/current/britain/ they've forgotten to run
- pclmulqdq 4y agowww.royal.uk sounds like a good place to start. Same as how whitehouse.gov will give you the US president, and even tiny nations have [head of state].[country] for that information.
- vivekraghunatha 4y ago(co-founder here) We are working on a bunch of freshness improvements across the board (ranking, indexing, crawl) that should help with this. Thanks for the feedback and keep it coming!

- krackers 4y ago>A kilogram of steel is heavier than a kilogram of feathers Isn't this technically true if you do the measuring under Earth's atmosphere where you have to account for buoyant forces? Granted the difference is minuscule, and it assumes by "heavier" you mean "apparent weight".

- tylerhou 4y agoIt’s also technically true if you ask about an ounce of gold vs. an ounce of feathers (gold is heavier) because gold ounces are different from feather ounces.
- bastawhiz 4y agoIt is not technically true. For one, the question didn't say "in Earth's atmosphere." But more importantly, if you get a kilogram of steel and a kilogram of feathers and put them on a consumer-grade scale on the planet Earth at standard temperature and pressure, they'll both show the same reading. If you are a person that needs a specific enough scientific answer to account for any ridiculously minuscule effect caused by the environment, you aren't asking it in such an off-handed way. If I asked "does ice float?" and got the answer "Ice floats on liquid water." that would be satisfactory. If I got the answer "Ice floats on liquid water if the ice is composed of hydrogen-1 atoms, or if it is placed in water composed of the same (or heavier) hydrogen isotopes." I would be dissatisfied because that's a confusing answer that nobody is reasonably looking for.

- dclowd9901 4y agoGiven it’s a fairly common word problem, I can’t say I’m surprised.
- vivekraghunatha 4y ago(co-founder) Thanks for reporting the rendering issue. We'll fix this.
- mk_stjames 4y agoA lot of systems based on gpt-like LLM's are currently being limited by the stripping of certain characters during tokenization... if the linked source used a superscript exponent, that superscript probably got lost and interpreted as just a concatenated number. This is one of the large problems I see right now hindering how these models are trained- they crawl text with numerical figures and graphs, charts, etc on webpages that cannot be interpreted as text, so the model learns something, but misses context or, in this bad case, loses a very key element of the mathematical notation. It's a hard problem, because it isn't like every webpage with facts and figures is written in perfectly formed LaTeX that could be interpreted. 1.67x10^34, 1.67*10^34, 1.67E34, 1.67*10**34 plus any number of mathjax, LaTeX, non-ASCII charsets, etc are all ways that would need to be interpreted correctly by the preprocessor for training, the input tokenization, and represented in the charset of the output of the model for it to be more effective.
- elashri 4y agoIt should add that this lifetime in the first part is assuming that proton is not stable. Proton is a stable particle in standard model. Also, 1.67×10^32 is not the estimated life-time for these theories. This is the lower limit constraint from the experimental search for this hypothetical proton decay. I can't say this is encouraging result.
- soperj 4y agoChatGTP Answer: The proton is a stable subatomic particle and does not decay, so it does not have a half-life.
