Not understanding an idiom is something you should just discuss with ChatGPT, it'll set you straight, show you the ropes, right your ship, and whatnot.

I very much doubt that. This as a phase doesn't even seem to exist online till today, even much less as an idiom, telling me the equivalent of "just google" for someone specific's thinking is entirely unhelpful.

I wasn't interested in what ChatGPT can hallucinate or even output. I was after Voloskaya's context, Voloskaya would be the one to provide this insight, which is who I chose to ask for that.

The actual spelling is "meteoric rise", so that might be why.

It is indeed. Thank you.

Might want to update your priors, I put your exact comment into ChatGPT and it handled it flawlessly.

I have seen “meteoritic rise” many times.

Well, no, not exactly :)

Genuinely asking here; have you really never heard the phrase "meteoric rise" before?

It's easy to miss the difference between "meteoric rise" and the OP's typo, "meteoritic rise".

Also easy to recognize that it was a typo and interpret it as intended.

Indeed even gpt-3.5-turbo recognizes the typo and gives a proper explanation. Can't wait until everyone has an LLM baked into their device that makes submitting stupid content a two step verification.

Yes, all the time. It is a common idiom, especially in history books.
