Sure, if you look at artificial intelligence as a tool (perhaps there is still no reason not to), but the end goal here is not to assist but to replace, isn't it ?

Well, every character of the string can be a token. From a transformer's perspective it shouldn't matter if it is Chinese, English or "chess" language.

Same could be said about language but here we are. There are far more possible combinations of words in any given language than there are positions in chess for a typical length of a sentence I suspect.

If dogs had a speech apparatus and if it was possible to read to them terabytes of text then the results might be quite surprising. Also a reward system for reinforcement should be in place.

Yeah. I wasn't so much trying to put weight on that you can get a fragment of copyrighted text, like Google Books also provides, but using the Bible as an example my point is you could technically get the whole thing bit by bit. You ca
