AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a sphere passing through four random points. Start by creating a circle between the origin and point (1,0,0), then build a cube based on this circle. Next, draw three circles with the cube's vertices and the circle's center as centers and the cube's edge length as radius. Find the centers of these three circles. Construct two planes using these centers and the origin, then draw two lines perpendicular to the origin on these planes. The intersection of these two lines is the center of the sphere. Draw the sphere with this center and the cube's edge length as radius, and calculate the sphere's volume.
