Aliens on Earth, part 2

A tremendous amount of research is going into creating the illusion that an LLM is a sentient person. As I’m sure you know, there are many lucrative commercial uses for an LLM that can “pass” as human.

But suppose we had a different goal. Suppose we wished to communicate with our fellow humans in a way that no LLM could follow.

Could we define a type of communication that would only work human-to-human? To the humans interacting with one another, it would all make perfect sense. But if an LLM happened to be listening, it would find the the resulting communication to be incomprehensible.

More tomorrow.
