Computer, what's the formula for transparent aluminum? Seriously, I got ChatGPT to spit out a scientific-seeming paper on the formula and manufacturing process for transparent aluminum. It did note that there's a real thing, aluminum oxynitride, which is the closest thing we have to the Star Trek material. It even wrote the following abstract, based on my prompt:
> This scientific description provides an overview of the formula and manufacturing process of transparent aluminum, a material used in applications where both structural strength and transparency are required. Transparent aluminum finds extensive use in diverse fields, including public aquaria, where it allows for the display of large marine organisms. The description outlines the chemical composition, key properties, and the manufacturing steps involved in creating transparent aluminum.
Whether or not the six-step manufacturing process it came up with is correct or not, I haven't the expertise to say.
