from their promotional material:

>> Why is the sky blue? > The sky is blue due to an optical illusion called the Rayleigh Scattering

Rayleigh Scattering is not an illusion but an effect.

> […] particles are made up of tiny blue and violet particles that cause the light to bend in a particular way.

ugh. no, there are no "tiny blue" particles in the sky.

That was the point. That example is meant to demonstrate that the model that trained for 4 hours can imitate a conversation but isn't actually anywhere close to being useful.

Where did you find that?

Aha, thanks!

not sure why you are being downvoted. That 'explanation' of Rayleigh scattering is just wrong.

[simonw]

Because that explanation is expected to be wrong. This is a partially trained tiny model, Andrej shared that obviously incorrect explanation to emphasize that the model is not trustworthy or useful at that stage.

Downvoted for being obvious in context / missing the point and getting worked up about it. He even said it's like talking to a kindergartener.
