Btw, Grok explained the point you brought up rather well. I am personally finding AI to be better at explaining concepts than writing code with imaginary API calls.

"Random Motion: Even without current, electrons are jiggling around at high speeds (~10⁶ m/s at room temperature) due to thermal energy. The electric field just adds a slight bias to this chaotic motion, resulting in the net drift."

The difference is that if you ask it to write code, you'll find its mistakes, but if you ask it to explain neutron stars, you won't.

interestingly this is also true with most popular internet/youtube personalities...

Another good reason why we don't consider "watched a bunch of youtube videos" to be a credentialed education.
