Some useless information: Plots of test loss versus dataset size for
large language models give you an equation that computes the dimension
of natural language as 42.
Both OpenAI and Google research arrived at this.
Yet more "AI" (Ass-ified Ignorance) garbled nonsense. :-\
Maybe, I wondered if 'dimension' would be the number of phonemes, but
English has 44 phonemes. Close but no cigar.
It’s all very well saying the answer is 42, but what is the question?
It’s a pity the answer wasn’t 43, because Shakespeare gave
us that question in hexadecimal
