Since turnabout is fair play, I asked Gemini Pro to save me some time on the obviously vibe-written paper:
> on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being crackpot nonsense, 10 being genuine insight presented in a novel but accessible manner, where does this paper fall
The paper scores a 4 out of 10. It proposes Lingenic, a notation mixing formal logic and natural language to represent knowledge, much like Knuth's pseudocode does for algorithms. The author argues that modern AI is the first reader capable of understanding this hybrid.
The assessment is that the paper fails structurally. It assumes broad, general knowledge maps perfectly to the narrow logic of algorithms. Furthermore, the formal examples in the text are just plain words wrapped in pseudo-mathematical symbols. It is an aesthetic choice masquerading as a new architecture.
