The 3 earthquakes it identified did happen, but it completely misses the big picture. Also, 20 years is much too short a time to estimate seismic hazard—the biggest quakes have repeat intervals of 100s to 1000s of years. A competent geologist would point that out, a sycophantic LLM? Not so much…

Hi @royalsociety.org, is this the sort of "personal political opinion" that you are happy for your fellows to broadcast? Can you not see how this brings you into disrepute?
