Then what the fuck are they doing.<p>Learning is thinking, reasoning, what have you.<p>Move goalposts, re-define words, it won't matter.</p>

<p>an LLM would complain that their internal model does not refelct their current input/output.<p>Since LLM's knows people knock off/test/run afoul/mistakes can be made, it would then raise that as a possibility and likely inquire.</p>

in the context of preventing leaks: if/when this nears ubiquity, the first ID'ing of leaks will obviously lead to the second effect of deterring further leaks.<p><pre><code>  >their ability to outsmart Google

it knows all the words: that is why i should not had had to had reminded it incessantly.<p><pre><code>  >continuing to obscure the entropic state of the x-M medium and remain plausibly deniable
</code></pre>
lemme draw this out cuz you seem intimidated with simple abstractions.<p>imagine a three page power-point composed of Header, Text, companyLogo, no other data, aside from inclination from the plane.<p>under the plausibility presumption the header and text and company logo cannot be within ~15 
interval degrees from the plane, you only have a state-space of so many combinations, which puts a hard limit (Shannon's) on the medium's maximum signal/noise ratio.<p>assuming people cannot collude to delineate between copies, they arent going to be able to perceive subtle shifts in the inclination/position/font/inclusion/exclusion of elements.<p>however more generally, this key-space needed for the LEAKER_ID wont be much larger (in magnitude) than the user pool of potential leakers, with a simple CRC for resiliency.</p>
