This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.
Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

It’s actually quite a complicated and debated question. It depends whether your astronomy is mostly in twilight (eg asteroids) or dark time (eg faint galaxies). Should reduce orbitsl collisions but increases the constellation turnover and so increases burn ups and ground collisions
