And if you don't like Kursk there are free accommodations at the Gulags.
Would be great if some of them ended up in the Russian Gulag
I imagine if you were 13.6 km from a star you would either burn up or fall into the star's gravity well.
AI doesn't seem to be good at anything in which there is a right answer and a wrong answer. It works best for things where there are no right/wrong answers.
According to the website Space, the distance is 37.8 trillion km.
This is not correct, and is probably the result of rounding the light year distance to 4 ly before converting to km. The google answer is pretty close.
The correct answer is the distance to Alpha Centauri is 41.5 petameters (trillion km) and the distance to Proxima Centauri is 40.2 petameters.
I still play Civ 2 more than any other Civ.
AIs are definitely not "good enough" to give correct answers to science questions. I've seen lots of other incorrect answers before seeing this one. While it was easy to spot that this answer is incorrect, how many incorrect answers are not obvious?
It’s in the quote that they scaled it.
Yes but they supposedly scaled it to "one meter per meter". A "scale where the distance from the Sun to Earth is 150 million km" is the actual distance.
One football field is about a hectometer and there are 10 hectometers per kilometer. So 415 trillion.
Close. The distance to Alpha Centauri is 41.5 petameters (trillion kilometers) and the distance to Proxima Centauri is 40.2 petameters.
41.5 petameters.

Nobody using the metric system says “trillion kilometers”!
Unfortunately way too many people do even though it is not the correct SI unit for the scale, simply because 'kilometer' is the metric distance unit used for Earth distances. I have astronomy distances memorized as metric SI distances and I only care about the km distance so I can convert that to the SI distance. e.g. When I see "trillion kilometers" I convert that in my head to "quadrillion meters" which I then convert to "petameters".
I would rather see the base unit 'meters' than km so I can skip a step. My own preference for astronomy distance units is:
metric SI units > meters > kilometers > non metric units
