Abstract

There are two well documented models of gamma ray bursts (GRBs), the "Standard' model and the "Cannonball" model. They have often been reviewed [1] and sometimes compared [2]. Here, to avoid understandable biases, I show below the results of an experiment: letting an AI compare the data and the two models. All of what follows (but two references, two footnotes and the next sentence) is the result of asking Perplexity.ai to perform this confrontational task. It should be easy for an impartial reader to reach very clear conclusions.
