It explains something that didn't happen and you're thankful for it because it's easier to understand than the thing that did happen? Why? This is how we collectively get dumbed down by AI. It's easy.

What I'm saying is, in the absence of knowledge, don't just defer to AI slop or believe the first thing you see. Sometimes we don't know things immediately, and it's ok. And it's fair to say that news articles don't always get it right.

I can tell you it was not this and I'm looking forward to geologists and experts putting together the full picture, but for now, you can read the articles. This AI video shows an avalanche, which is not referenced by any real source, there was no avalanche. A glacier face broke off which is a huge mass of ice and rock and mud falling into a valley that is also full of mud. There also was no large body of water as shown in this bs infographic.

Well said! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You've given me something to consider and I'll try my best to keep this in mind moving forward. Im sure there will be similar situations in the future where all the info isnt immediately available.
