Newton did dabble quite a bit in alchemy, biblical studies, and the occult, possibly as much as in mathematics and natural philosophy.

And there's two of them, giving slightly different images (but without the whole circuitry developed at a young age that manages to calculate distances from the slight differences between the two images... hell, they might even lack the circuitry that corrects for the images being upside down, at that!).

Huh, I'm kind of surprised it didn't come up with Terminator 2, which at least would fit the freezing and shattering bit.

Might be that the training set is too old; “That one with the fat dragon” got me Kung Fu Panda, because Po, while not a dragon, was fat.

Similar prompts (see my other replies to the OP) for older films seem to work, so Honour Among Thieves might be to recent. (Which would highlight one of the main issues with these large language models: they have to be periodically retrained with new data for them to remain accurate and practical.)

OK, last last one; “That one with Bill Murray and the gopher” got me Caddyshack, which I haven't seen but does seem to be a better match than Groundhog Day, which is what I was going for (trying to see if the AI could figure out I was mixing my rodents; turns out there are too many Bill Murray rodent focused films for that to be a valid test, my bad).

I had to do it in a third browser 'cause the login prompt came back, though, so I won't be doing any more attempts, between that and the GDPR prompt it's pretty clear they don't want people using their site. Shame, as the tool seems pretty good, but what can you do. 🤷‍♂️

OK, last try: (spoiler warning) “Turns out he was Jesus” got me The Man From Earth.

This shit would be good, if it weren't for the login prompt.

OK, opening it on another browser worked. “why it was so easy to blow up the death star” got me Rogue One. So far 3/3, plus a login prompt which drops the score to 0/4.

Third try got me a login prompt (how about no). Definitely not good.

And “horse drowns in quicksand, very sad” got me The Neverending Story. Also good.

“Pigs and diamonds” got me Snatch. Seems good.

That's monstrous. When I send a PDF I don't want it to be editable, if I wanted an editable format I'd use an editable format. Exporting to PDF is supposed to be a digital equivalent to printing.

He set The Hobbit (which he wrote for his kids) in the world he'd already built... not because he particularly enjoyed worldbuilding, but because a culturally complex fantasy world with a rich history and mythology was a prerequisite for the epic poetic sagas he felt needed to write in order to properly develop his fantasy languages, which is what he really liked to do, as a philologist.
