Astronomers have found a background din of exceptionally long-wavelength gravitational waves pervading the cosmos. The cause? Probably supermassive black hole collisions, but more exotic options can’t be ruled out.

I’m really not a fan of using AI to summarize scientific concepts. I’ve messed around with having chatGPT explain concepts in my area of research. Sometimes it’s spot on, scarily so. Other times it’s hilariously wrong. The problem is it sounds equally confident in both cases, so it’s impossible to tell if the AI is hallucinating if you aren’t familiar with the subject matter.
