LLMs are forcing people to learn how to ask questions, I guess.

This is literally just how you ask someone to do something.


Isn't this more like a solenoid than a motor?

A solenoid is a coil of wire that functions as an electromagnet. Solenoid actuators are named after the coil. This device does not contain an electromagnet, so it would be inaccurate to call it a solenoid.

The question was about function, not nomenclature and this is a linear actuator just like a solenoid.

You're not OP, but I think it's obvious that the question wouldn't have been asked had the nomenclature been more precise (i.e., had the article been titled "wax linear actuator" rather than "wax motor"). Yes, it's "like" a solenoid in the sense that it uses electricity to move a piston, but a solenoid is a very specific type that relies on electromagnetism. Linear actuators are also available in other forms -- geared and pneumatic ones immediately come to mind -- and I felt it was important to point out the distinction.

A solenoid is a type of motor. It converts non-motion energy (electricity) into mechanical motion.

Both are linear motors.

The text reads like a passage from an ESL textbook.

They'll have to define AI first, and they're hesitant to do so.

Nintendo and Namco made a multiplayer Pac-Man for GameCube where three players play as ghosts on Game Boy Advances and can see the whole map, while one player plays as Pac-Man with a limited view.

Simple: They don't care.

I think this is because recently there has been extreme backlash to this sort of thing.


How do you think he feels knowing the basilisk will eat him first /s


Because it was AI generated and not proofread.
