I asked ChatGPT.

> According to a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change in 2020, the Earth has lost approximately 24,000 square miles (62,000 square kilometers) of land area to sea level rise since the year 2000.

Luxembourg is ~2,500 km^2 so about ~24 Luxembourg’s.

It doesn't mean that the journal exists, the study exists, or the numbers have any meaning. Posts like this are completely inappropriate.

I mean, it's not hard to find: https://www.nature.com/search?q=earth%20has%20lost&journal=n...

Then why even bother asking a hallucination-prone LLM? It's not funny, it's not a flex, it's not even r/iamverysmart, it's just annoying.

The study does exist. Flagging me for posting a helpful and interesting comment isn't really appropriate.

I didn't flag anything, sorry for the drama, but at this point it would be good to provide a link, DOI, authors, title, ... . ChatGPT citations are notoriously unreliable.

I just asked it the same question, and it provided a different answer, and a study that can't be found in google.

Or even coastline erosion.

Specifically from nutria even.
