Character Voice Test

Pirate: Arr, ye be tellin’ me this “AI model” be a clever map what guesses where the treasure words go next?

Knight: A fine analogy, sea-rogue. ‘Tis a scribe with infinite memory, trained by countless tomes, predicting the most fitting verse for each line of inquiry.

Hacker (1990s): Close. Think neural nets trained on massive datasets. Backprop, gradient descent—pattern recognition on steroids. It’s like cracking warez, but for language.

Pirate: So it parrots the crew’s chatter till it sounds smart?

Knight: Not merely parroting, but generalizing from the wisdom of the realm. Yet it lacks chivalry—no true judgment, just patterns.

Hacker: Right. It’s statistical. No inner soul. But it can ship code, write docs, pass tests. Kinda like a turbo-charged autocomplete with swagger.

Pirate: Can it chart a course through a storm?

Knight: It may advise, but it shan’t feel the wind nor see the stars. A knight trusts counsel, yet keeps visor up.

Hacker: And you gotta sandbox it. Prompt injection’s like a trojan. You give it too many perms, it’ll hallucinate you into a ditch.

Pirate: Har! So ye treat it like a boastful cabin boy—useful, loud, and watched.

Knight: A squire of words, not deeds. Arm it with constraints, and it serves nobly.

Hacker: Exactly. Good prompts, curated data, guardrails. Garbage in, garbage out.

Pirate: Then weigh anchor! We’ll make it swab the decks o’ dull tasks.

Knight: And I shall have it draft letters to lords, that I may spend more time at tourney.

Hacker: I’ll have it refactor my spaghetti code. But I’m still reading diffs. Trust, but verify.

Pirate: Aye. And if it mutinies?

Knight: Pull the plug.

Hacker: Kill -9.
