AI WRITING ASSIGNMENT Smith, 1 Lauren Smith University of Florida IDS-2935 Knowledge and the Universe Dr. Paul Sell AI: Writing Assignment: Ask an LLM a question and fact check it The question that I chose to ask the AI language learning model (LLM) was about different metrics on the planet Jupiter which these numbers I would then compare to section 6.1 in the textbook. For this assignment I decided to use Bart an AI LLM by Google as this more frequently generates sources that it pulls from as compared to a competitor Chat GPT which just pulls randomly from its large database and is unable to cite its information of give clues to where the information came from. I chose to ask two questions, one more quantitative and the other more qualitative. I chose to ask 1) What is the radius of Jupiter? 2) What is the composition of Jupiter? Question 1: “What is the Radius of Jupiter?” The LLM answered in three paragraphs the first sentence stating the radius and then going onto describe more things about the radius. The radius of Jupiter is 71,492 kilometers (44,423 miles), or 11.2 Earth radii. This means that Jupiter is about eleven times wider than Earth. Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, and its radius is often used as a unit of length in astronomy to describe the radii of other gas giants and exoplanets.
AI WRITING ASSIGNMENT Smith, 2 Paragraphs 2 and 3 described what Jupiter is and compared it to earth and described more characteristics (even answering my next question on its composition) and going into the pressure of Jupiter at its core. Question 2: What is the composition of Jupiter? This result produced five paragraphs, the first breaking down the composition even down to the trace amounts that it contains. Jupiter is composed primarily of hydrogen (90% by volume), followed by helium, which makes up a quarter of its mass and a tenth of its volume. The atmosphere also contains trace amounts of methane, water vapor, ammonia, and silicon-based compounds as well as fractional amounts of carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, neon, oxygen, phosphine, and sulfur. Further paragraphs break down the composition of the atmosphere and other subsequent layers of Jupiter and its composition, as well as describing its implications and interest in studying for scientists. This result also linked its source at the bottom of the result which was a Wikipedia link. Image 1: Showing Linked Source Result
AI WRITING ASSIGNMENT Smith, 3 Overall, this compared to the textbook which gave quantitatively the exact same numbers of radius even giving the answer in both kilometers (km) and in astronomical unit (AU). As for the composition, the textbook states that the composition is “mostly hydrogen and helium” not going into as specific details as Bart, but Bart says around the same thing, that Jupiter is comprised of hydrogen 90% and about 10% helium (by volume) and then stating what the traces are. When I asked a follow-up question as to where this information came from the Bart was able to generate 5 peer reviewed sources some published as recently as 2020 and 2019.S Image 2: Peer Reviewed Sources: Composition Question When asked about the credible sources it used to determine the radius of Jupiter it was quick to list three different institutes and descriptions on their accuracy.
