TP: What causes hot tears in castings?

Looks to me like a pretty fair answer. You asked a pretty general question and got information on what could cause hot tears in casting. You had to prompt it to expand on some additional causes, but I would not expect a human to do any better on a wide open question. To the negative, in my experience, the AI's don't learn from interacting with a person and after the session is over the interaction is flushed. As other's have seen, you have to be careful with the AI's answers because the AI will make stuff up.
