We read words. To translate some words into other words of different literal meanings while maintaining non-literal metaphorical meaning implies the capacity to "understand" the words at that level. That it represents data as toke

The problem with using a regex as you describe is that GPT isn't working at the level of words, its working at a level of meaning and intent. You can have it translate rather meaningfully between metaphors that exist in completely diff

I had thought about this a few years back. My final thought to avoid intervention from a human owner was that the company could be fully owned by a second company, which is then fully owned by the first. This chain would effectively remove
