- reverse is like crypto, you need the question to generate a matching answer, but also need matching random word choice.

I don’t know solution, would be healthy if there was something in the result that made it recognizable, but there’s nothing today. Maybe require all answers as dirty limericks? Maybe there’s a way to test text directly against the model and find a correlation.

What is confounding to me is how word correlation is enough to make it work so well. Instead of praising ai advance I am falling out of love with our tiny chimp brains. Boo hoo for humanity.

Agreed on that last point! I have no clue as to the tech, but I would have imagined it was a lot more complex than what you are describing. In one example, the AI actually reached out to a human and got it to solve a CAPTCHA for it so it could continue it’s task! How is that happening without a little more “intelligence” than just word matching?
