everything there sounds great (though i suspect for actual human-passing linguistic register-transfer we will need something different than the bog standard GPT models because everyone has this six sense for things being written by it and, particularly in English, register is one of oldest forms of 'discrimination' in the language/culture, and certainly persists to the current day. And there's a huge competitive advantage to being able to have an LLM write things for you but make it sound like you yourself wrote it.)
For translations considering how 'mature' the field is relative to everything else I'm a little surprised we haven't seen any rigorous benchmarks on round-trip translations, especially given that you aren't even limited to natural languages. You can take text, flip it into Klingon, and back, if you so chose.
>- the inverse of summarization; given a bulleted list of facts, write a sensible set of paragraphs presenting those facts
Except this one, this sounds unintentionally evil for some reasons i can't entirely put my finger on. Perhaps the inevitable conclusion of countless GPU farms spamming terabytes of text at each other predicated upon some short bullet point lists and the fact that "those are our marching orders"
I guess Fundamentally I would like to live in a future where LLMs can only decrease the length of text written by humans, never increase it or fabricate it.
