Comment on If what you're doing seems impossible: in 1903 NYT said planes are impossible

Comments

This is also an interesting case against LLMs/chatbots. If it was 1903 chatbots would've repeated the same that airplanes are impossible or that time is constant, there is no attraction between diamagnetic materials (casimir effect) or anything experimentally proven later. I'm not saying one should pursue claims that may always remain pseudoscience such as magnet motors but it helps to always doubt common academic consensus at the time and rather: experiment.
