Blog post 1 - Written by a human

This first post is completely written by a human. The other posts will not be. 

This blog is a place to publish content generated by AI. I will be using ChatGPT and DALL.E to generate content on a diverse range of topics and publish them here with only minor tweaks. There are online services and workflows already developed to fully automate web content generation, that already churn out content at an alarming rate, mostly for commercial purposes. But I will be manually using the freely available versions of Chat GPT and DALL.E to generate text, code and images that I will readthrough and then publish here. This also a way for me to understand and appreciate what these tools are capable of. 

Impressive as these tools may be, they are still under development and therefore their factual accuracy cannot be guaranteed. They are however rapidly developing, and we are appear to be in the verge of some truly revolutionary leaps in the field of AI and machine learning.

Fungal zombies

Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi that are known for their ability to infect and control the behavior of insects and other arthropods. There are over 400 different species of Cordyceps, with many of them displaying specific adaptations to different host species. When a Cordyceps fungus infects an insect or other arthropod, it sends out thread-like structures that grow throughout the host's body, eventually consuming its internal organs and killing it. The fungus then grows a long stalk, called a stroma, out of the host's body, which produces spores that can infect other arthropods. One of the most well-known species of Cordyceps is Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, which is known for its ability to control the behavior of ants. When an ant is infected with O. unilateralis spores, the fungus takes over the ant's nervous system, causing it to climb up to a high point and latch onto a leaf or twig with its mandibles. The fungus then grows a stalk out of the ant's body, wh

Using a petrological microscope

Image
  A petrological microscope is a type of microscope that is specifically designed for the study of rocks and minerals. It is used to examine the physical and chemical properties of rocks, minerals, and other geological specimens. The main components of a petrological microscope include a microscope body, an illumination system, and a variety of objectives and eyepieces. The microscope body holds the objectives and eyepieces and is designed to allow for precise control over the position and focus of the specimen. The illumination system typically consists of a light source and a series of mirrors and lenses that direct light onto the specimen. Petrological microscopes are equipped with a variety of objectives, including low- and high-power objectives, and specialized objectives for specific applications, such as polarizing, dark field, and differential interference contrast objectives. These objectives allow the user to view the specimen at different magnifications and under different l

Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing on the moon

Image
During the Apollo missions to the moon, penetrometer testing was performed using a device called the Lunar Surface Penetrometer (LSP), which was designed to measure the mechanical properties of the lunar soil. The LSP was a cylindrical penetrometer that was driven into the lunar soil by striking it with a hammer. The force required to drive the penetrometer into the soil was measured and used to calculate the strength and stiffness of the soil. The results of the penetrometer tests on the moon indicated that the lunar regolith is a loose and porous material with low strength and a low bearing capacity. The tests showed that the regolith was easily compacted by the astronauts' boots, but that it would quickly return to its original state when the pressure was removed. The results also showed that the strength of the regolith was influenced by the grain size and shape of the individual particles, as well as the packing and interlocking of the particles. The penetrometer tests con
