@@facundogriglio3316 just tried with chatgpt 4o mini this is what it said: The trophy wouldn't fit in the brown suitcase because it was too big, meaning its size exceeded the available space inside the suitcase. There could be several reasons for this: Height/Length: The trophy might be taller or longer than the suitcase's interior dimensions. Shape: The trophy could have an irregular shape (e.g., a wide base or large decorative elements) that doesn't align with the suitcase's compartments or structure. Fragility: The trophy might require special handling, and trying to force it into the suitcase could risk damaging it, making it impractical to fit. Inflexibility: Unlike flexible items, a trophy might have a rigid structure, meaning it can't be squished or bent to fit into a smaller space.

I love coming back to this video. I think it is excellent, Tom explains it really well, and there really isn't any flaw to the arguments that he is making. Of course we know that he was completely wrong just 2 years later, but that makes me like the video more. He wasn't wrong because of any factual error, but because nobody could predict just how incredible LLMs would become at natural language processing. Rather than complain that it aged like milk we should instead hold up this masterpiece of a video as a lesson that things are not as difficult as we always think they are, and the seemingly impossible might be on the verge of being achieved.

It replied: In the sentence "The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big," the phrase "too big" is referring to the size of the trophy. The trophy is too large to fit inside the suitcase, so it cannot be packed and transported in that way.

I asked it a newer one it may not have seen yet, The ball broke the table because it was made of steel. What was made of steel? It told me this was ambiguous. To its credit when I corrected it and told it that this was an example of a Winograd schema and that one of the two interpretations was obviously correct, it did pick the ball as the steel object. But then, to its detriment again, you can try this replacing steel with Styrofoam to change the meaning around. It gets even worse and doesn't think it is ambiguous at all--and insists that a Styrofoam ball would not break a table. And when warned again that there is a right answer, it says that the Styrofoam ball did break the table. The ones it gets right, it gets right because it has seen them in the training set because they are classical examples. It is smoke and mirrors though, and it still chokes on anything novel.

Personally, Blaseball has been a good training ground for some people I know to stop using synecdoche and epithets, as characters have zero canonical descriptions of appearance at all, so no amount of "pinkette" or "the taller one" is going to disambiguate which character is which. You could try looking at fanfic from there to improve on that specific skill. Similarly, Homestuck fandom is really good at second person (written from the perspective of "you") because canon is written in second person. If you want other recommendations feel free to ask!

Me: The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big. ChatGPT: This sentence is an example of a classic ambiguity problem often used in linguistics. The pronoun "it" could refer to either the "trophy" or the "suitcase," leading to two interpretations: The trophy was too big to fit in the suitcase. The suitcase was too big to hold the trophy. However, most people intuitively assume that the trophy is too big because it aligns better with common sense expectations (trophies are usually large and suitcases are typically for storing things). Do you enjoy exploring these types of linguistic puzzles?

I LOVED how you pulled in slash fanfiction to demonstrate!!! This is indeed a problem (inexperienced) authors frequently struggle with, and you are right: synecdoches are awkward to read. The solution I have discovered (when careful sentence construction can't solve the issue): use names! The rule about trying to avoid repetition in your vocabulary can be applied with more leniency in this case, and if the writing is good, the scene will come to life so perfectly that clarification is not always needed anyway. That said, I object to slash fiction authors being called amateur in general - though there are, as you point out, significant differences in skill level.

You know, I’ve tried using the AI dungeon recently, apparently a lot of people tried doing the same thing Tom did because the moment i asked it to imagine a suitcase and a trophy it immediately filled in the rest of the problem for me, gave me the correct answer, and twice proudly proclaimed that it knew trophies were made of medal. It was an interesting conversation all round, I asked it if it knew Grice’s Maxims, and not only did it list them but it explained what they were in, what I could tell, were its own words. It also identified times in our conversation when one of the maxims had been violated or flouted, and even stopped to correct me when I accidentally referred to it as “flaunting” a maxim.

Tried this test with ChatGPT, although a little altered. I asked, "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small." ChatGPT responded, "The word 'it' refers to the ball. The sentence means that the ball is too small to fit inside the box, which is the reason why it doesn't fit." As a software engineer, this gives a little bit of hope that my job is still safe. A little.

Ah yep. This same example of yours trumped it on my end too. Perhaps it's trained on the examples Tom mentioned but not new ones. -In the sentence "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small.", what is the word "it" referring to? -In the sentence "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small," the word "it" is referring to the ball. -Why would a small ball have trouble fitting in a box? -A small ball might have trouble fitting in a box if the box is not large enough to accommodate the ball. Alternatively, the opening of the box might be too small to allow the ball to pass through. It also depends on the size of the ball and the size of the box. -Doesn't this mean "it" refers to the box then? -Yes, you are correct. In the given sentence, "it" refers to the box, which is too small to fit the ball. I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.
