 You first need to grasp the concept of an axiom before you apply it (incorrectly) 
 Is the law of gravity an axiom? 
 It’s more of a fundamental principle of mechanics. It’s not self-evident. It is empirically derived, and subject to revision.

Apparently there are no axioms within physics like there are in mathematics:
-a number is equal to itself
-transitive law. a=b, b=c, then a=c
-axiom of empty set

Axioms are accepted as true without proof. They’re not necessarily absolute truths, universal, or immutable and may only apply within a given context.

Disclaimer: I summarized the above after using 2 different LLMs. 
 I appreciate your honesty 😂 
 Way too many people just copy and paste the entire LLM response shamelessly 😂 
 We should reply to them with a hashtag to bring a healthy dose of shame. I vote #LLMstr 
 I second the hashtag

Also turded 
 I have my suspicion of a certain person on nostr that does this. But I couldn’t really confirm it when I put the text into an AI detector. 
 I’m pretty sure all AI detectors are unreliable. Could be unaware of a new good one. I remember a story about a school falsely punishing a student with a legit essay or something.

On social media, it gets super obvious when their response is long and worded super formally in contrast to their other brief and dumb replies lol 
 You’re right they are not reliable lol I put yours into an AI detector and it said it was human 😂 
 Did it give a % score? 
 0% lol
