Luigi - a new confirmed impact crater in DRC?

This list requires updating after assessing whther this meets the requirement of confirmed evidence - Luigi crater in DRC. See National Gepgraphic report. AshLin (talk) 07:07, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

UNconfirmed crater list?

An apparently obvious omission is a list of sites not yet confirmed as impact craters, but which bear consideration. Andebodatsaka, Madagascar - 15°05'42"S 48°19'15"E (9km rim) clearly visible in GoogleEarth imagery & topography Steve8394 (talk) 01:33, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tsabong and Ghanzi craters

Just chatting to the open AI bot and had the following conversation:

Me:

Please tell me how many craters there are in Botswana

Bot:

There are several impact craters in Botswana, but the exact number is difficult to determine. Impact craters are formed when a meteor or asteroid strikes the earth's surface, and over time, many of these craters have been erased or obscured by erosion, tectonic activity, or other geological processes.
One of the most well-known impact craters in Botswana is the Tsabong crater, which is located in the southwestern part of the country. This crater is thought to be approximately 2 million years old and is approximately 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) in diameter.
Another impact crater in Botswana is the Ghanzi crater, which is located in the western part of the country. This crater is thought to be approximately 60 million years old and is approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) in diameter.
In addition to these craters, there are likely many other smaller or less well-known impact craters in Botswana. However, without more information, it is difficult to provide a precise estimate of the total number of craters in the country.
I hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions or requests.

Me:

what about the kgagodi crater?

Bot:

I'm sorry, but I am not able to provide information on specific craters in Botswana. As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I do not have access to real-time information or the ability to browse the internet. I can only provide general knowledge and information that I was trained on.
In my training data, I do not have any information on a crater called the Kgagodi crater. It is possible that this is a real crater in Botswana, but I am not able to confirm or provide information about it.

Are these alternate names for craters already in the list? If you ask it for it's sources, it says it doesn't know, it was trained a large set of training data and doesn't know where it came from. I guess we need some other source if they're not in the list already as we can't add them without a source. It's a shame the bot doesn't spill the beans when you ask it:

Bot:

In general, the information that I provide is based on a wide range of sources, including books, articles, and other published works on a variety of topics. These sources are carefully selected and curated by the team at OpenAI to ensure that the information I provide is accurate and reliable.
I apologize if I am unable to provide the specific sources of the information on the Tsabong and Ghanzi craters. If you have any other questions or requests, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to help with any general knowledge or information that I have.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:D6CB:6300:9D0C:8CE4:E408:C117 (talk) 15:20, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
