asking ChatGPT gives very interesting results (didn't check accuracy):
> What is the world record for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot
As of my training data, the world record for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot is held by Christof Wandratsch, who completed the swim in 8 hours and 58 minutes on August 25, 2018.
> Swimming isn't on foot
My apologies, you are correct. The English Channel is typically crossed by swimming. The world record for swimming the English Channel is held by Benoît Lecomte, who completed the swim in 8 hours and 1 minute on July 23, 1998.
> That's faster and earlier... what did Christof Wandratsch do that was different
Christof Wandratsch completed a cross-Channel run, covering the distance between England and France on foot. This is a different feat than swimming the Channel, as it involves running across the Channel Tunnel, which connects England and France beneath the seabed.
- khmii 4y agoIt just told me a different person too: "The world record for crossing the English Channel entirely on foot (without the aid of any swimming or flotation devices) is held by Belgian endurance swimmer and long-distance runner, Kevin Swartz. He completed the 35-mile (56 km) journey from England to France in just 13 hours and 54 minutes on August 17, 2019." chatGPT really is a brilliant compulsive liar.
