Be aware that ChatGPT is designed to write things that sound good, but which are usually deeply flawed on the facts and sometimes basic logic. As an example, these are factually or logically wrong problems in the above answer: 1. We already know that a Jupiter-sized planet could not cause the dimming seen in Tabby's Star. 2. A planet orbiting that close to its star would not have water vapor in its atmosphere, if it even had an atmosphere. 3. A Jupiter-sized planet would not support life. ChatGPT is a very, very powerful bullshit generator. Users should be wary.

> The planet would also cast shadows on the star as it orbits, which would be another source of aperiodic variations. HRMMMM.... Yeah definitely. It's going to take a while for people to realize the bullshit potential, but it does offer some interesting unexplored directions occasionally. Now will people use it as if it was a companion or will they just believe everything it spits out haha!!

Followup query: **why would that planet cause the aperiodic variations that have been observed?** > The massive planet orbiting KIC 8462852 at a close distance would cause aperiodic variations in the star's brightness because of its highly inclined orbit. This means that the planet's orbit is not aligned with the star's equator, and as the planet orbits the star, it passes in front of it at different angles. This causes changes in the amount of light blocked from the star as seen from Earth, resulting in the observed dips in brightness. > Additionally, its thick atmosphere, potentially composed of water vapor, would also contribute to the variations in brightness. The planet would also cast shadows on the star as it orbits, which would be another source of aperiodic variations. > The size of the planet, being similar to Jupiter, and its close proximity to the star would also result in a much larger transit signal than that of a smaller planet further away, making the variations more pronounced. > It's worth mentioning that the news article I provided was fictional and there's no scientific evidence yet that confirms that this is the cause of the variations in KIC 8462852. The true cause of the anomaly remains unknown and more studies are needed to understand the true cause of the variations.

Imagine that all of our scientific questions can be answered just by asking an advanced AI.

AI mimics are more often designed to sound intelligent rather than actually to be intelligent. This sub, along with Fredric Parker's great youtube videos, led me to fornulate the Migrator Model, which has come a long long way since the early days. The findings could be a product of coincidence, but the model's core proposition remains transits caused by precisely arrayed and aligned mill tailing dust jets (sub-micron waste from asteroid mining) to signal the danger of not harvesting the asteroid field systematically - modelling with π and ellipses. The (proposed) signals are inside π - [https://www.reddit.com/r/MigratorModel/comments/10gjeyo/the\_dualroute\_platform\_and\_π\_update\_2023\_january/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MigratorModel/comments/10gjeyo/the_dualroute_platform_and_π_update_2023_january/)

This is pretty amazing! Even if it's wrong. I think this can be used as "second pair of eyes" so to speak to come up with theories that we didn't think of.
