AI has given a surprising response when it was asked about when the US war in Iran would end.
US and Israeli forces have launched waves of strikes on Iran, bombing multiple cities across the country.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been killed in the strikes, and Trump has warned that there will no deal with Iran except for 'unconditional surrender'.
Meanwhile, Israel has also launched strikes against Beirut in Lebanon.

Iran has responded to the strikes by launching missile and drone attacks at neighbouring countries with US bases, as well as against Israel.
Someone fed the scenario into AI, and asked it to generate a response which analyzed how long the war would last.
The answer it generated was reported in vt.co, and read: "The hot war phase lasts weeks, not years. Trump pulls back, claims victory, and moves on.
"But the aftermath is a decade-plus of regional instability, proxy warfare, an emboldened Iranian diaspora resistance that may or may not coalesce into anything, an accelerated nuclear race, and a Middle East that's significantly more dangerous than it was before February 28."
It went on to generate an answer saying that this would not be a 'forever war', but would be a 'forever consequence, and said that it would be an injury which 'doesn't bleed dramatically but never fully heals'.
The US and Israel launched the strikes after negotiations over Iran's nuclear program failed to reach an agreement.
Trump has stated that the strikes were targeted at destroying Iran's nuclear program and disrupting its efforts to build a nuclear weapon.
The war has been heavily criticized both domestically in the US and internationally.
Since the strikes, Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian has been reported as apologizing to neighbouring countries for Iranian attacks, saying in a speech broadcast on Iranian state television: “I apologise … to the neighbouring countries that were attacked by Iran."
Pezeshkian reportedly went on to promise that Iran will not attack a neighbouring country unless an attack on Iran originated in that country.
The attack on Iran has come just months after a US operation in Venezuela detained Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, and since the attacks on Iran Trump has already indicated a desire to target another country.
This time, it's Cuba which has caught the president's attention.
Trump said: “Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated, but Cuba is gonna fall too. They want to make a deal so badly."
