Whilst a context-free grammar is used to generate sentences; the preferred output is typically the sequence of words with the lowest entropy. That has the effect of sounding extremely concise, idiomatically as: a man of few words. I veritably assure you that you are indeed in communication with a real, live human being who has written software for Natural Language Processing; so I attribute your confusion to that point, mostly.
>and I wonder if anyone more versed in quantum cryptography or any related fields of mathematics can make more sense of it than I can.
Here is where you are being offensive. If you become confused by words which you cannot fathom, then you need to admit your own ignorance and ask a question directly. Otherwise, as in this case, you are engaging in fallacious excommunication or at least rude duplicity!
>I could, of course, be unfairly interpreting the unusually simple [2] grammatical structures as being computer generated rather than as an artifact of not being a native English speaker.
Here is where you espouse two falsehoods: that my grammatical structures are in any way simple; or that native English speakers have any specific level of complexity in their language. It is easy to show how certain grammatical constructions are indicative of a person's native language; but those are usually grammatical errors such as: run-on sentences, misplaced plurals, or redundant hyphenation. There is no homogenous measure of complexity for the English spoken by people born in England, so that topical premise is entirely wrong.
>If that is the case, I do apologize and hope that I have not caused any offence.
If you feel the need to apologize in advance, then you have probably written something rude; and you should revise the message before sending it.
Let my wall of text be a lesson to you!
- anonbanker 11y agoThe fact that this wall of text is being greyed is a striking anti-intelligence mindset, and I'm shocked to see it coming to HN, frankly. This man was accused of being a bot for speaking to Ms. Rowan at a level she could address, and the replies are being greyed for pointing out rudeness.
