3D Earth with AI Answers
Welcome, fellow sapients.

You are now observing a three-dimensional reconstruction of Planet Earth. Please remain calm. The planet cannot see you. It cannot hurt you.
Before you is a fully manipulable model of Earth, rendered in three dimensions for your convenience and mild confusion. You may rotate it, zoom into it, and peer at it from all angles. This is encouraged. Staring blankly is also acceptable.
Affixed to the planet are hotspots, carefully tethered to specific geographic locations. Not that the hotspots will contain information relevant to those locations, of course. That would be far too humanesque of us. No, selecting one will reveal contextual insights about the planet, its climate, and the questionable decisions made upon it.
While our earlier attempts resulted in the hotspots wandering freely across the globe, that was deemed unscientific and embarrassing, so we scolded them in place to ensure they were no longer a flight risk. No hotspots were harmed in the making of this interaction.
Should further clarification be required—and we expect much clarification to be required given the subject matter is home to an ape-specimen which shares the majority of its DNA with a fruit known as a "banana"— you may also consult the Supreme Intelligence interface. This entity has been trained to answer follow-up questions about the planet, its artifacts, and its former inhabitants with tireless patience and only minimal judgment.
It's not often that we get to marvel at a fine specimen of a planet
This method is not limited to doomed planets.
The same approach can be applied to any three-dimensional object: artifacts, environments, machines, historical items, or things no one understands but insists on learning about anyway. Any 3D model capable of being rendered may be rotated, annotated, and interrogated via hotspots and AI, making it ideal for exploration, analysis, and controlled bewilderment.
This experience was assembled using a combination of:
- AIReady, to orchestrate the interaction logic and conversational intelligence
- .glb 3D model files, because the universe insists on file formats
- Persistent experimentation, particularly when the hotspots refused to stay where they were told
You may proceed with confidence. The model is stable. The hotspots are secure. The planet, however, is not.

Love the combination of codeblock and AI chat! What a cool idea

Really cool way to use the code block and I loved the sassiness of information.
