can someone explain how a nuke dropping would cause a car's engine to die? this question has come up because of a terminal entry from "the survivalist" in the honest hearts dlc of fallout new vegas

I was north of Spanish Fork. Took the 77 along Provo Bay to steer clear of town. Would've been home in an hour. Engine died, truck just stopped. So did a Chryslus in the other lane. Knew right away.

First nuke hit SLC inside a minute. I was looking South - Lucky Man! Flash behind me so bright world looked on fire. Old couple from the Chryslus starts screaming they can't see.

Now, the "genuineness of human expression" is not a measurable quality or metric that can be used to moderate media and determine what is and is not AI. It is the unfortunate truth that some AI generated media is visually indistinguishable and that will only happen more as the tech improves.
