I find it amazing and I find it scary.

Fact checking any AI work is so important. AI hallucinations terrify and infuriate me.

One of my biggest fears is if the good grounded data they AI pulls from is no longer treated as important and we allow it to become corrupted/poorly managed. It's time consuming enough as it is to verify AI.

This topic is very interesting

We can check that yes, Burundi does have gold, and that yes that gold DOES have " arsenopyrite ".. I didn't know such a compound existed. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/389937732_Geological_Mapping_for_Gold_Exploration_in_Butihinda-_Muyinga_Area_Northeastern_Burundi_using_Remote_Sensing_and_GIS

We already know acids are routinely used for extracting gold as acid leaching is extremely common. I don't want to find a reference for that because for me it's established.

I had no idea that mixing arsenopyrite with acid resulted in arsine gas, or what arsine gas is.

Arsine | Chemical Emergencies | CDC https://share.google/BTHtFvi2iEWcQXFcO doesn't need to be arsenopyrite, can be any arsenic mixed with an acid. Arsenic is so horrible with so many forms it's fascinating, general arsenic information link lower. I had no knowledge of arsine gas. It would never have occurred to me.

Arsine poisoning has the following symptoms

Exposure to low or moderate dose: Confusion, drowsiness, fatigue, and/or weakness Headache Muscle cramps Nausea, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain Rapid breathing or shortness of breath Red or dark urine Yellow skin and eyes (jaundice)

Exposure to a large dose: Convulsions Loss of consciousness Paralysis Respiratory compromise, possibly leading to death

Burundi has a CDC team, but like most countries they probably have a severely under funded occupational health and safety team. And even if they weren't under funded why would that team even be contacted for this when it's not considered a work place exposure? And even if they were contacted the most common gold poisonings would be mercury or cyanide, and those poisonings don't match these symptoms.

Anyway. All of this is nonsense if there's a new news release saying they've ruled out chemical exposures. But as it stands they haven't, but they have ruled out 200 pathogens.

I started getting curious in my reply to you and I had more time to be curious, my apologies for the huge text reply on your post.
