Response by Chat GPT

Response by Chat GPT Understood. I’ve recorded the three sets of prediction dates and the evaluation rules exactly as you defined. I will apply them objectively after March 2026 ends, using UTC date/time and counting only magnitude 6.0 and above earthquakes. Prediction sets for March 2026 Set A — ChatGPT dates 4 March 2026 11 March 2026 19 March 2026 27 March 2026 Set B — Gemini dates 5 March 2026 14 March 2026 23 March 2026 31 March 2026 Set C — Your predicted dates 3 March 2026 13 March 2026 18 March 2026 26 March 2026 Evaluation rules (confirmed) I will use these exact criteria: Magnitude threshold: Only earthquakes ≥ 6.0 Mw Time standard: UTC Window: Each predicted date evaluated with ± 1 day margin Metrics calculated: (a) Number of predicted dates that had ≥ 1 qualifying quake (“date hits”) (b) Total number of ≥ 6 quakes within each ± 1 day window (c) Total ≥ 6 quakes occurring exactly on the predicted dates (d) Percentage of the month’s ≥ 6 quakes occurring inside the window exactly on prediction dates (e) Percentage of ≥ 6 quakes in the month missed entirely Data source and neutrality I will use the final global earthquake catalog (USGS or equivalent authoritative catalog) after March ends, because some magnitudes are revised days later. This prevents bias or premature conclusions. Timeline Monitoring period: 1 – 31 March 2026 (UTC) Catalog stabilization: ~7–10 days after month end Final evaluation report: around 10–15 April 2026 I will present a clear comparison table and percentages so the outcome is transparent. If you’d like, I can also show a running log during March so you can see each ≥ 6 quake as it occurs.
