What caused the cooling at the end of the cenezoic that lead to the glacial quarternary period?
Took a while, actively showed the source articles it was looking into while it was processing which were clickable. Here’s a pdf of the response which is long, and well referenced, pretty interesting IMO, but here’s the initial overview:
The cooling at the end of the Cenozoic Era — which culminated in the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary Period — is one of Earth’s most profound climate transitions. This was not a single event but a stepwise process driven by interconnected mechanisms operating over tens of millions of years. The primary cause was a long-term decline in atmospheric CO₂ (pCO₂), driven fundamentally by plate tectonic processes that altered the global carbon cycle. Oceanic gateway openings and orbital variations played important modulating roles.
Which my partner, whose taken some climate classes in college, said sounds right. If anyone thinks this is wrong please feel free to call it out.
To be fair though, even if you read the abstracts of papers you need to go in and check the actual data itself to confirm what the authors describe is actually there.
Likewise if a paper cites another study in support and it seems weird what they say, you need to go and check that paper too.
Scientists have been inflating their claims as long as the impact factor exists (and probably longer). This now just makes it even easier to receive lies.
AI doesnt understand truth, it averages on data points. It cannot tell the “truth”. it can be right sometimes based on frequency of mentioned words and related ones.
Asked it the following to test it:

You have to go into each article and check the key points, trust me.
It is a god-tier liar.

Yeah, it’s just a model with a semantic database it can query (RAG)
