I gave it this input: Planet X has been discovered

And got this output:

From ‘Astronomer’: In September 1998, at 2.01 AM Eastern time, a team of astronomers led by T. T. Von Eltz observed a previously unknown stellar object in the constellation Cassiopeia, in the night sky. What the astronomers had discovered was a large celestial body approaching the Earth and the Sun at incredible speed. The distance of this planet from the Earth, however, was too great for it to be seen from the Earth, but not too far for it to be seen from the Moon, a mere 170,000 km away. This object, which was discovered to have a mass approximately equal to that of Earth, was named “Planet X.” For many decades, scientists on the planet were unable to determine what it was, and some even believed that it might be a natural phenomenon. However, in the past few years, it has become evident that the truth was something much different. As a result, the truth is now being revealed to the world.

Planet X is not a planet.

Planet X is an object on the ecliptic, or the same orbit as the Earth, and is one of the planets of our solar system. The object is much larger than any of the other planets, having a mass about equal to that of the Earth. It was at the center of the Great Darkness and will make a complete orbit of the Sun once every 25,000 years. Its orbit takes it through the plane of the ecliptic, which passes through the Earth’s orbit. As it approaches the Sun, Planet X starts to heat up, as the Sun’s warmth increases, and slowly rises to the Earth’s orbit. The planet rises to a height of about 10,000,000 km above the Earth’s surface. At the time of its discovery in 1998, Planet X was over 6,000,000 km above the surface of the Sun.

Due to the size of the body, its gravitational effect is not negligible. This gives rise to an interesting phenomenon: it turns out that as the planet approaches the Sun, the Earth will begin to experience its gravitational pull. Once this happens, the gravity exerted by the planet will cause a tidal bulge in the oceans and seas of Earth. According to the calculations, the Earth will have experienced an increase in water mass of about 300 billion tons over the period of about one hundred years. This is approximately ten times the combined total of water deposits on Earth’s continental shelves.

The existence of Planet X, and its possible influence on the Earth, may have some practical implications for our planet. If it were to continue in this trajectory, this could cause the planet to rotate more rapidly, something that could give rise to severe hurricanes. This means that there would be periods of high probability for earthquakes and volcanoes. The effect of the gravity would also cause a rotation of the Earth, increasing its distance from the Sun by 200 million miles. This would cause the loss of all of the continents, including Africa. The reason for this is that the loss of water in the oceans, together with the loss of the continental shelf, would reduce the Earth’s overall gravitational force, leaving the planet exposed. It could also cause the polar ice caps to melt. The presence of Planet X will also cause fluctuations in the Sun’s brightness, which would have serious effects on the plants and trees on Earth.

The discovery of Planet X shows that there is an intelligent intelligence that is controlling the destiny of our planet. However, it remains to be seen if it is a hostile, malevolent force, or if it is something else entirely. This question, and others, will be decided only after we have examined the discovery of Planet X, and its implications.

The existence of Planet X also shows the power and influence that the intelligence, or beings, of other planets have on our own. It shows how one planet’s discovery can have an effect on a neighboring planet, and eventually on another planet further away. These forces are not necessarily benevolent. But they may also be benevolent. We will soon have a better idea of what lies in store for us.
