I asked for a large asteroid impacting the Pacific ocean. Interestingly the resultant tidal wave apparently heads directly to Honolulu, then to Terminal Island, then reverses course and visits Sydney before traveling overland through New South Wales and Queensland, causing some earthquakes in Papua New Guinea, and coming to rest in Tokyo Harbour.

Also I just realised I can talk to the asteroid. It understandably seems a little traumatized.

    me: Hi! What brings you to this particular part of the ocean?
    
    asteroid: *hurtling through the atmosphere at tremendous speed, trailing
        fire* AAARRRRRGGGHHHHH! NOT BY CHOICE! Gravity's got me in its grip! 
        Been floating peacefully through space for millions of years until your 
        planet's pull caught me! CAN'T STOP NOW! *glowing brighter* Ocean impact 
        in approximately 17 seconds! Nothing personal against this particular 
        patch of water! BRACE FOR TSUNAMI! *increasing in brightness and 
        velocity*

I don't understand what it's supposed to do. I see clouds and a prompt entry. I type something in and it just gives me a text response about New York urban tourism...?

I think it's a 3D visualization of Earth with simulated clouds. You can ask an AI to generate a GIS layer to visualize an event. Then, you can talk to parts of the event in chat.
