What ChatGPT output when I asked it to “generate an image of the smallest known spaceships for each speed in Conway’s Game of Life”:

Another attempt, just as ridiculous:

“As of 2024, no spaceships are known for speeds c/1, c/2, c/3, or c/16 and higher”.

c/1 spaceships aren’t even possible in Conway’s Game of Life.

What would TWSS stand for?
I could've chose a better username, but oh well.

Still learning the ropes of cellular automata, focused on one OCA at a time. My current interest is B35/S126 and range-two LTLs.
