Prompt: Pretend to be a person with IQ of 200. You are explaining to a person with IQ of 200. Why does it rain?

ChatGPT: Rain occurs as a result of the earth's atmosphere and the process of evaporation and condensation. When the sun's energy heats up the surface of the earth, water evaporates from the surface, such as from bodies of water or plants. This water vapor rises and cools as it rises, forming clouds. Eventually, the water droplets within the clouds become heavy enough to fall back to the earth as precipitation, specifically as rain. This process is known as the water cycle and is essential for maintaining the balance of water on our planet.

That seems like maybe an IQ 110 response, just barely more advanced than mass market media.

An actual 200 IQ explanation seems like it would be more like: "It's an evaporation/condensation cycle," with all the obvious implications left unspoken.
