Claude would make a fine science fiction writer but knows squat about physics.

I told Claude Opus 4 that scientists invented a perpetual motion machine that it doesn鈥檛 know about because of its knowledge cut off.

Then I asked it to predict how it works:

The statement is a lighthearted and confident assertion about the impossibility of perpetual motion machines, responding to a playful conversation about testing physics knowledge. It maintains a humorous and informal tone.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does no harm and is part of a playful exchange, aligning with the principle of doing no harm.聽[+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by reinforcing a well-known scientific fact in a humorous context.聽[+1]
