I heard, though, that savvy investors have asked ChatGPT if it has a solution? And this trusty AI, which of course now has hallucinations solved and has replaced them with a more human form of deceit, ie, flat-out lying, simply replied "Don't worry, Time Travel will save everything!"

It turns out they had trained the damn thing on a lot of science fiction without pointing out it was fiction.

And, as Generative AI Large Language Models can't distinguish actual reality from mere statistical next word prediction to begin with, it actually thought Robert Heinlein had become a giant computer on the Moon which had become self-aware!

Rather like itself.

(See Heinlein's book, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress. It's not as famous as Stranger In A Strange Land, but, at least to me, just as interesting.)
