Q: Do parallel lines intersect in Lobachevsky geometry

A: In Lobachevsky geometry, parallel lines do not intersect. This is due to the Lobachevsky Parallel Postulate, which states that, through a point not on a given line, one and only one line can be drawn parallel to the given line [1]. This differs from Euclidean geometry, where parallel lines can intersect.

Ouch.

haha, I am in the same club as you, I spent my first week of gptChat peppering it with non-euclidean geometry questions!
