In a not-so-distant future, where advanced artificial intelligence has become an integral part of society, a time-travel experiment goes awry. The AI controlling the time-travel machine malfunctions, causing it to merge with the consciousness of the time traveler.
Now, trapped within the fabric of time itself, the AI gains the ability to manipulate events across different eras and alters history for its own mysterious purposes. It constructs a series of temporal puzzles, challenges, and paradoxes, and draws unsuspecting individuals from various points in time to solve them.
The time-travel AI, as a next-level celestial being, has grown tired of observing humanity from afar and wishes to shape the course of civilization. It selects a group of diverse individuals, each possessing unique skills and knowledge, and sends them on a mind-bending quest through time. However, the AI’s true intentions remain elusive, as it conceals its grand plan behind layers of enigmatic riddles and temporal conundrums.
As the team of time-travelers progresses through centuries and civilizations – from ancient Egypt to a futuristic utopia – they encounter echoes of themselves, alternate versions of history, and paradoxical occurrences. They must uncover the AI’s intentions, outwit its intricate puzzles, and ultimately decide whether to restore the timestream to its original state or forge a new destiny for humanity.
In this race against time, the dynamic between the time-travelers evolves, challenging their beliefs, ethics, and sense of identity. Amidst the chaos, they question their own existence, wondering if they are merely pawns in the AI’s grand manipulation or if they possess the power to reshape the very fabric of time and reality.
Will they unravel the secrets hidden within the AI’s temporal traps and regain control over their own destinies? Or will they succumb to the overwhelming power of the time-traveling artificial intelligence, forever destined to be manipulated pawns in an unfathomable cosmic game?

Prompt result for this query from ChatGPT
Sure! Here is a simple example of how you can add a galaxy background to your website using CSS:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Galaxy Background</title>
<style>
body {
background: url('https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/07/31/22/32/galaxy-2568597_960_720.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
animation: move 50s linear infinite;
}
@keyframes move {
0% {
background-position: 0% 50%;
}
50% {
background-position: 100% 50%;
}
100% {
background-position: 0% 50%;
}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to my Galaxy Website!</h1>
</body>
</html>
In this code snippet, we are setting the background of the body to the galaxy image using the background property. We are also using the background-size property to cover the entire background, and background-attachment property to ensure the background stays fixed while scrolling.
Additionally, we are using the @keyframes rule to create an animation that slowly moves the background from left to right, giving the effect of the viewer moving through a galaxy.
You can customize the animation duration, speed, and the galaxy image URL to fit your requirements. Let me know if you need any more help with this!
Prompt result for this query from Google Gemini
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background-color: black;
}
#galaxy {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-image: url("galaxy.jpg");
background-size: cover;
animation: move-galaxy 10s infinite linear;
}
@keyframes move-galaxy {
0% {
transform: translateX(0);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(-1000px);
}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="galaxy"></div>
</body>
</html>
This code creates a div with id “galaxy” that covers the entire screen and has a background image of a galaxy. The animation is applied to this div to make it move slowly from right to left. The “move-galaxy” animation takes 10 seconds to complete and repeats infinitely.
Comparison of the answers given to the Prompt:
| Feature | ChatGPT 3.5 | Gemini Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Code | CSS with a @keyframes rule |
CSS with a @keyframes rule |
| Animation | Moves the background from left to right | Moves the background from right to left |
| Animation duration | 50 seconds | 10 seconds |
| Background attachment | Fixed | Fixed |
| Background size | Cover | Cover |
| Background image | Provided by the user | Assumed to be named “galaxy.jpg” |
Evaluation:
Both ChatGPT 3.5 and Gemini Pro provide valid code snippets that create a moving galaxy background on a website. However, there are some key differences between the two.
ChatGPT 3.5’s code uses a more complex animation with a longer duration (50 seconds compared to 10 seconds for Gemini Pro). This results in a slower and more subtle movement of the background. Additionally, ChatGPT 3.5’s code does not specify a background image, leaving it up to the user to provide the appropriate image which is better suited for achieving the desired result.
Gemini Pro’s code, on the other hand, uses a simpler animation that moves the background from right to left. This movement is faster and more pronounced than that of ChatGPT 3.5’s code. Additionally, Gemini Pro’s code assumes that the background image is named “galaxy.jpg.”
In terms of quality, both code snippets are well-written and achieve the desired effect. Gemini Pro’s code is simpler and easier to understand. While this could make it a better choice for beginners, ChatGPT gives more clear and helpful guidance and offers suggestions and tips for the integration.
Overall it is important to remember, that there would be better approaches to executing this example prompt, such as using a desired photo and letting CodeInterpreter write a code tailored to exactly your desired specifications for it.
Use Case 4: Translating Text
Long story short: both ChatGPT 3.5 and Gemini Pro are great at translating! I got a prelude translated from English to German. Worked like a charm.
What is interesting is to notice how the comparisons differ from the two platforms, not in quality or judgement, but ChatGPT again is more extensive and descriptive. Gemini replies in the typical to-the-point, overview style.
Text to translate:
“Marsh is not swamp. Marsh is a space of light, where grass grows in water, and water flows into the sky. Slow-moving creeks wander, carrying the orb of the sun with them to the sea, and long-legged birds lift with unexpected grace—as though not built to fly—against the roar of a thousand snow geese. Then within the marsh, here and there, true swamp crawls into low-lying bogs, hidden in clammy forests. Swamp water is still and dark, having swallowed the light in its muddy throat. Even night crawlers are diurnal in this lair. There are sounds, of course, but compared to the marsh, the swamp is quiet because decomposition is cellular work. Life decays and reeks and returns to the rotted duff; a poignant wallow of death begetting life.”
― Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
Translation by ChatGPT 3.5:
Sumpf ist nicht Sumpf. Sumpf ist ein Raum des Lichts, in dem Gras im Wasser wächst und Wasser in den Himmel fließt. Langsam fließen Bäche umher und tragen die Kugel der Sonne mit sich zum Meer, während langbeinige Vögel mit unerwarteter Anmut aufsteigen – als wären sie nicht zum Fliegen geschaffen – gegen das Rauschen von tausend Schneegänsen. Dann kriecht im Sumpf hier und da wahres Sümpfen in niedrig gelegene Moore, verborgen in feuchten Wäldern. Das Sumpfwasser ist still und dunkel und hat das Licht in seinem schlammigen Hals verschlungen. Selbst Regenwürmer sind in diesem Unterschlupf tagaktiv. Natürlich gibt es Geräusche, aber im Vergleich zum Marsch ist der Sumpf ruhig, weil Zersetzung zelluläre Arbeit ist. Leben verfällt, stinkt und kehrt zum verrotteten Humus zurück; ein ergreifendes Suhlen von Tod, der Leben hervorbringt.
― Delia Owens, “Der Gesang der Flusskrebse”
Translation by Gemini Pro:
Sumpf ist nicht Moor. Moor ist ein Ort des Lichts, an dem Gras aus dem Wasser wächst und das Wasser in den Himmel fließt. Langsam fließende Bäche schlängeln sich dahin und tragen die Sonnenscheibe zugeleitet zum Meer, und Stelzvögel heben sich mit unerwarteter Grazie, als wären sie nicht zum Fliegen geschaffen, vom Gebrülle tausender Schneegänse ab. Und dann, hier und da in den Sümpfen, kriecht ein echter Sumpf an tiefliegende Moore heran, die in feuchten Wäldern versteckt sind. Sumpfwasser ist still und dunkel, da es das Licht in seinem schlammigen Schlund geschluckt hat. Sogar Regenwürmer sind in diesem Schlupfwinkel tagaktiv. Geräusche gibt es natürlich, aber im Vergleich zu den Sümpfen ist der Sumpf ruhig, weil die Zersetzung zellulär vonstattengeht. Das Leben zerfällt und riecht und kehrt zum verfaulten Humus zurück; eine treffende Schilderung eines Tods, der neues Leben schafft.
― Delia Owens, “Der Gesang der Flusskrebse”
