If the Earth's core were to suddenly stop rotating, it would have a number of significant consequences:
The Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by the motion of the liquid iron and nickel in the core, would likely collapse. This would leave the Earth's surface exposed to higher levels of cosmic radiation, potentially affecting satellite communications and power grids.
The cessation of the Earth's magnetic field would also likely cause significant changes in the atmosphere, potentially leading to more severe weather patterns and increased atmospheric erosion.
The process of plate tectonics, which is driven by the convection of the Earth's mantle, would likely come to a halt. This could lead to a cessation of volcanic activity, and the potential build-up of pressure in the Earth's crust.
The loss of the Earth's magnetic field would also have an effect on the climate, as the magnetic field helps to deflect solar wind, which can cause changes in atmospheric circulation and temperature.
The loss of the Earth's magnetic field would also have a catastrophic effect on the life, especially on the marine life as the magnetic field helps to navigate the migratory animals like sea turtles, salmon, tuna, etc.
Please keep in mind that the likelihood of the Earth's core stopping its rotation is extremely low, these are just some possible consequences if it were to happen.
If the Earth's magnetic field were to collapse, it would be a significant event that would have a number of negative consequences for human civilization. The best way for humans to survive in such a scenario would likely involve taking measures to protect themselves from the increased levels of cosmic radiation that would reach the surface.
Building underground shelters or bunkers would be the best option as they would provide protection from the increased cosmic radiation and solar flares.
Building structures with thick walls that can block radiation, such as lead-lined walls, would also be a good option.
Storing enough food and water to last for several months would be essential, as the collapse of the magnetic field could disrupt the food supply chain.
Having backup generators and other emergency equipment to provide power during a prolonged power outage.
Having a plan for communication and finding a way to stay informed about the situation would be important as the collapse of the magnetic field would likely disrupt telecommunications.
Staying indoors during solar flares or other high-radiation events would also be advisable, as well as avoiding high-altitude locations, where the level of cosmic radiation would be higher.
It's important to note that the collapse of the Earth's magnetic field is a highly unlikely event, and the best way to prepare for such a scenario would be to have a well-stocked emergency kit and a plan in place for dealing with natural disasters and other emergencies.

Crazy how AI is replacing qualified human researchers and publishers. Eventually Google will be an autonomous library with its own personality. It will conduct its own surveys, collect data and tell us answers to questions we never thought to ask.

It just finds and pastes information on the topic you ask it from the internet via google search, then it scans the texts and gives you the most relevant answers.
It seems amazing and magical, but it really isn't. It's hard for me to actually call it artifical intelligence.
I'll call it really good programming code.

I wish everyone would stop and take good look at that sentence.
It makes me feel very uneasy.

I prefer level 10 doom porn-like what would happen if a celestial body impacted earth and knocked it off its axis.

The Earth's core is now spinning at the same rate as the crust. It has not stopped spinning. To get this kind of disaster would require a different phenomenon.

That’s simplifying it way too much. It’s a language model. Basically it’s job is to sounds like a human is answering you. It doesn’t have the capability to search google. It prioritizes sounding like it’s right over actually being right. When you ask it a question it gives you the best sounding answer.
That being said, it’s actually a powerful tool. If you use it correctly. Unprecedented if you ask me.
