Some of those are almost creepy in how they make so much sense.
Probably because looking at evolution it's more helpful to see a predator that isn't there, than to miss a predator that is there. It intuitively makes sense that we would tilt towards false positives over false negatives in our perception. Since one has a higher cost attached than the other.
Which is why I find some of the discussion arround whether GPTs are intelligent interesting. I see the argument quite often that they merely match patterns and combine things. Which to me seems very much akin to us. They lack the ability to interact with the world and there is no feedback loop as of now, but it seems to me that there is something very human to the AI we programmed.
In terms of this ‘chunk scoring’ method this scores very high (15 I think?), which definitely confirms its value as a way of rating anagram quality.
