Yup! I've also had a lot of fun arguing with it and learning with it. Waaaaay better than arguing with a human or putting up with a bone head teacher. No emotion. No skin in the game. There is something about an AI debate or learning experience that is very satisfying.
 
This is a great thread and comes at a serendipitous time, if that's the correct use of the word.
A couple of years ago, I built a PM Research #4 engine after seeing Quinn Dunki build one. The build really tasked my mini machines to and beyond their limit.
Really pleased with the finished engine, it runs very well on air. All I needed was a steam boiler:cool: I got tired of waiting for Quinn to build hers so I decided to start my own. I love challenges. I have most of the boiler built, not assembled, I've never done silver soldering on this scale before, so I'm taking my time to get everything right before I start Plus, I have to wait until the weather warms up a bit so I can do it outside, the heat from the propane flame thrower is just incredible in my 1000 cu ft shed..
