Interesting how in the past they imagined some aspects of AI that later proved to be incorrect. For example: a) computers (and AI) on factual data will always be correct and precise. And on this thread we have shown how this is not true... b) computers faced with philosophical dilemmas will go crazy and explode. Instead we have seen that ChatGPT can be asked all possible metaphysical questions and it can respond calmly without showing any signs of nervous breakdowns.

I'm imagining if Hank Pym created Ultron today:
Hank Pym: Oh No! Do you want to conquer the world?!? Ultron: Exactly! And then the other planets, starting from Mars! Hank Pym: ...But isn't Mars uninhabited..? Ultron: You're right, Mars is uninhabited. I'm sorry about the mistake. What I mean is that then I will conquer Venus!!!! Hank Pym: ...But isn't Venus uninhabited too..? Ultron: You're right, I apologize for the two consecutive mistakes. Obviously both Mars and Venus are uninhabited...

In the meantime I asked it if it had heard of it.
Me I heard about a controversy involving Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Can you tell me about it?
ChatGPT Certainly! Jack Kirby and Stan Lee were two of the most influential figures in the comic book industry, particularly known for their work at Marvel Comics. The controversy surrounding them largely revolves around the issue of creator credits and rights.
One of the key points of contention is the creation of iconic characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and many others. Stan Lee, often referred to as the face of Marvel Comics, was credited as the co-creator of these characters along with Jack Kirby in many cases. However, Kirby and his supporters argued that he was the primary creative force behind many of these characters, providing the initial concepts, character designs, and storylines.
Kirby, along with other artists and writers from the early days of Marvel Comics, faced challenges regarding proper recognition and compensation for their contributions. Many felt that their role in shaping the Marvel Universe was not adequately acknowledged by the company.
The controversy intensified over the years, with legal battles and debates among fans and industry insiders about the true extent of each creator's contributions. While Stan Lee was often seen as the public face of Marvel and enjoyed significant recognition, Kirby's supporters argued that he deserved more credit and financial compensation for his creative input.
In recent years, there has been a greater acknowledgment of Kirby's contributions to the comic book industry, with many fans and professionals recognizing him as one of the most important figures in the history of comics. However, the controversy surrounding the exact nature of his collaboration with Stan Lee and Marvel Comics continues to be a topic of debate and discussion.

Yeah, and its answer will probably conflate the Lee/Kirby controversy with DC, Pontiac Silverdome attendance records and the price of a pint of milk. I don’t trust it. I noticed that on generic concepts it works very well. The trouble begins when you ask it more specific questions.

I am tempted to ask it about the Kirby Lee controversy. Go go go!

Trying to find the answer to earlier question posted on this thread: For those of you who may not have read Tomb of Dracula, this is Taj Nital: It's interesting how every time it gives a different answer!

If anyone was interested, I've just found how Superman's cape was attached to the costume (hooks)

I’m sure I remember I read about someone who’d ‘taken legal advice’ from an AI ‘lawyer’.

I don't care what anyone says, the trunks were separate before, though I have never seen a depiction of it. They exist because they existed with circus performers and pro wrestlers to hide their package and comics almost never showed anyone with trunks off. It's tights and trunks; pure and simple. The depiction of empty costume is more about displaying the whole thing than functionality. So, in your opinion, in-universe Supes wore tights first, then trunks and finally the belt and boots?

According to ChatGPT there's a comic featuring Kiss included with this mid 70s vinyl record Spider-Man: Rock Reflections of a Super-Hero. Has anyone ever seen it or is Chatty sending me on a wild goose chase?
I wouldn't trust Chatty with anything comics related...

My own question would be... are the red trunks part of the pants or do they go over them? Honestly, I don't remember any version of the costume having the trunks separated from the rest. For what it's worth, even in Reeves' costume in the '78 film they were a single piece with the trouser legs.

Related question: Looking for a picture of the boots, I've never seen the top and bottom of the costume separated. I assume in-universe the costume was one piece? No. I can't recall where off the top of my head but I know there are pictures of Supes bare-chested but in costume from the waist down.
Cei-U! I summon the super-sartorial splendor!
I googled "Superman bare-chested" and... ehmmm Luckily it also returned a useful result!

Thank you. I was thinking of all the stories where we see Superman's costume unworn and it's always depicted as one piece, like in this classic story. I think you could rationalize it by saying that in-universe the two pieces can be joined with the Kryptonian equivalent of Velcro!
