When you have to re-read a whole paragraph in a fanfiction because at the end of it you find out you were imagining the character roles reversed... and now you have two parellel scenes visualised.
oh God, when the author doesn't make it clear which character is speaking in a scene and your left wondering why Sub would be saying something that only applies to Dom
When they just leave what the characters are saying without clues as to who is saying what assuming I will pick up on who is who. Excuse me, but I'm dumb.
When you realize 5 chapters later that that one very important line was actually uttered by the _other_ character, completely changing your context for the last 5 chapters...

Yesterday I put those sentences into OpenAI Chatbot, and it successfully answered all of them. Turns out machine learning WAS gonna save us, less than 3 years later. Checkmate Tom.
I tested asking it to put the suitcase inside the trophy. It stuffed the suitcase inside, and admitted it was a silly idea. So yes, it is extremely good at understanding this stuff.
I asked it about the trophy sentence and it got it correct. Then I switched from “too big” to “too small” and it gave the same (wrong) answer. ChatGPT is good, but not intelligent.
One of my favourite examples of such a sentence: "The disco ball went through the table because it was made of steel/styrofoam." The meaning of "it" depends solely on the last word.
You could do the same thing with Tom's opening sentence. Change the last word from "big" to "small" and the sentence still makes sense (except now x=2)

Feb.19.2023 I asked chat gpt: "The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big." What is the sentence referring to by "too big"? It replied: In the sentence "The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big," the phrase "too big" is referring to the size of the trophy. The trophy is too large to fit inside the suitcase, so it cannot be packed and transported in that way.
I asked it a newer one it may not have seen yet, The ball broke the table because it was made of steel. What was made of steel? It told me this was ambiguous. To its credit when I corrected it and told it that this was an example of a Winograd schema and that one of the two interpretations was obviously correct, it did pick the ball as the steel object. But then, to its detriment again, you can try this replacing steel with Styrofoam to change the meaning around. It gets even worse and doesn't think it is ambiguous at all--and insists that a Styrofoam ball would not break a table. And when warned again that there is a right answer, it says that the Styrofoam ball did break the table. The ones it gets right, it gets right because it has seen them in the training set because they are classical examples. It is smoke and mirrors though, and it still chokes on anything novel.

That moment you go, "hmm, i usually use visual or character traits to distinguish between same pronouned characters in my gay romance fanfics" and then Tom calls you out on it as weird and amateur.
It’s not always a bad thing in writing, but usually it’s used as a crutch or a bandaid solution, instead of intentionally, which is why it often comes off as amateur Really, when it comes to writing, there are general guidelines, but no strict, set rules-because there’s always gonna be someone who will break those rules and do it well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I did spend a few minutes thinking about how I'd word that sentence so it'd work before I realized the entire sentence was just trash and should be thrown out completely.
Personally, Blaseball has been a good training ground for some people I know to stop using synecdoche and epithets, as characters have zero canonical descriptions of appearance at all, so no amount of "pinkette" or "the taller one" is going to disambiguate which character is which. You could try looking at fanfic from there to improve on that specific skill. Similarly, Homestuck fandom is really good at second person (written from the perspective of "you") because canon is written in second person. If you want other recommendations feel free to ask!

Tried this test with ChatGPT, although a little altered. I asked, "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small." ChatGPT responded, "The word 'it' refers to the ball. The sentence means that the ball is too small to fit inside the box, which is the reason why it doesn't fit." As a software engineer, this gives a little bit of hope that my job is still safe. A little.
Well i said to it, it was wrong so it corrected it and told me that it was wrong because the box was too small to accommodate the ball . Here it kinda understood its mistake. This shows how smart its learning is
Ah yep. This same example of yours trumped it on my end too. Perhaps it's trained on the examples Tom mentioned but not new ones. -In the sentence "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small.", what is the word "it" referring to? -In the sentence "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small," the word "it" is referring to the ball. -Why would a small ball have trouble fitting in a box? -A small ball might have trouble fitting in a box if the box is not large enough to accommodate the ball. Alternatively, the opening of the box might be too small to allow the ball to pass through. It also depends on the size of the ball and the size of the box. -Doesn't this mean "it" refers to the box then? -Yes, you are correct. In the given sentence, "it" refers to the box, which is too small to fit the ball. I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.
I LOVED how you pulled in slash fanfiction to demonstrate!!! This is indeed a problem (inexperienced) authors frequently struggle with, and you are right: synecdoches are awkward to read. The solution I have discovered (when careful sentence construction can't solve the issue): use names! The rule about trying to avoid repetition in your vocabulary can be applied with more leniency in this case, and if the writing is good, the scene will come to life so perfectly that clarification is not always needed anyway. That said, I object to slash fiction authors being called amateur in general - though there are, as you point out, significant differences in skill level.
Now chatgpt is replying with “If I were human, and assuming both the suitcase and the trophy were appropriately sized and designed for such an interaction, it might be possible to put the suitcase inside the trophy, depending on their respective sizes and shapes. However, it's important to note that such an action would likely be unconventional and not typically done.”
Me: ChatGPT wouldn't fit in the mainframe computer, because it was too big. In the previous sentence, what does it refer to? ChatGPT: In the previous sentence, the pronoun "it" refers to the mainframe computer.
My: Can you tell me what the following sentence is trying to say: The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big. ChatGPT: This sentence is explaining that the trophy couldn't be placed inside the suitcase due to its size
I believe CGP Grey did a video on this subject that aged much better? Its hypothetical example is a bot trained to sort images between "bee" and "dog" -- which after an iterative training process it can (and quite efficiently), only to get tripped up by a photo of a dog in a bee costume.
Me: The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big. ChatGPT: This sentence is an example of a classic ambiguity problem often used in linguistics. The pronoun "it" could refer to either the "trophy" or the "suitcase," leading to two interpretations: The trophy was too big to fit in the suitcase. The suitcase was too big to hold the trophy. However, most people intuitively assume that the trophy is too big because it aligns better with common sense expectations (trophies are usually large and suitcases are typically for storing things). Do you enjoy exploring these types of linguistic puzzles?
You know, I’ve tried using the AI dungeon recently, apparently a lot of people tried doing the same thing Tom did because the moment i asked it to imagine a suitcase and a trophy it immediately filled in the rest of the problem for me, gave me the correct answer, and twice proudly proclaimed that it knew trophies were made of medal. It was an interesting conversation all round, I asked it if it knew Grice’s Maxims, and not only did it list them but it explained what they were in, what I could tell, were its own words. It also identified times in our conversation when one of the maxims had been violated or flouted, and even stopped to correct me when I accidentally referred to it as “flaunting” a maxim.

But then, to its detriment again, you can try this replacing steel with Styrofoam to change the meaning around. It gets even worse and doesn't think it is ambiguous at all--and insists that a Styrofoam ball would not break a table. And when warned again that there is a right answer, it says that the Styrofoam ball did break the table.
The ones it gets right, it gets right because it has seen them in the training set because they are classical examples. It is smoke and mirrors though, and it still chokes on anything novel.

It’s not always a bad thing in writing, but usually it’s used as a crutch or a bandaid solution, instead of intentionally, which is why it often comes off as amateur

I did spend a few minutes thinking about how I'd word that sentence so it'd work before I realized the entire sentence was just trash and should be thrown out completely.
Personally, Blaseball has been a good training ground for some people I know to stop using synecdoche and epithets, as characters have zero canonical descriptions of appearance at all, so no amount of "pinkette" or "the taller one" is going to disambiguate which character is which. You could try looking at fanfic from there to improve on that specific skill.
Similarly, Homestuck fandom is really good at second person (written from the perspective of "you") because canon is written in second person.

Comment aged like milk
Tried this test with ChatGPT, although a little altered. I asked, "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small." ChatGPT responded, "The word 'it' refers to the ball. The sentence means that the ball is too small to fit inside the box, which is the reason why it doesn't fit."
As a software engineer, this gives a little bit of hope that my job is still safe. A little.
Well i said to it, it was wrong so it corrected it and told me that it was wrong because the box was too small to accommodate the ball . Here it kinda understood its mistake. This shows how smart its learning is
maybe it interpreted "fit" as in "fit snugly", in which case the ball being too small would in fact make the sentence true
Ah yep. This same example of yours trumped it on my end too. Perhaps it's trained on the examples Tom mentioned but not new ones.
-In the sentence "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small.", what is the word "it" referring to?
-In the sentence "The ball doesn't fit in the box because it is too small," the word "it" is referring to the ball.
-Why would a small ball have trouble fitting in a box?
-A small ball might have trouble fitting in a box if the box is not large enough to accommodate the ball. Alternatively, the opening of the box might be too small to allow the ball to pass through. It also depends on the size of the ball and the size of the box.
-Doesn't this mean "it" refers to the box then?
-Yes, you are correct. In the given sentence, "it" refers to the box, which is too small to fit the ball. I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.

@@mustafasiddiqui8203 I did. It passes with flying colors.
I LOVED how you pulled in slash fanfiction to demonstrate!!! This is indeed a problem (inexperienced) authors frequently struggle with, and you are right: synecdoches are awkward to read. The solution I have discovered (when careful sentence construction can't solve the issue): use names! The rule about trying to avoid repetition in your vocabulary can be applied with more leniency in this case, and if the writing is good, the scene will come to life so perfectly that clarification is not always needed anyway.
That said, I object to slash fiction authors being called amateur in general - though there are, as you point out, significant differences in skill level.

Me: The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big.
ChatGPT: This sentence is an example of a classic ambiguity problem often used in linguistics. The pronoun "it" could refer to either the "trophy" or the "suitcase," leading to two interpretations:
The trophy was too big to fit in the suitcase.
The suitcase was too big to hold the trophy.
However, most people intuitively assume that the trophy is too big because it aligns better with common sense expectations (trophies are usually large and suitcases are typically for storing things).
