AI and Python: Skepticism on ancient languages, new chat apps, and game playing

Multiple Mastodon posts discuss the use of AI in conjunction with Python programming. Some users express skepticism about claims of AI deciphering ancient languages like Linear A, clarifying that AI was used for Python code generation while humans performed the decipherment. Another post details building a chat application with an AI girlfriend using Python, incorporating LLM routing, long-term memory, and voice capabilities, noting that Yandex has launched AI characters in Alice. A separate project involves using LLMs to play the board game Diplomacy, with Python handling move generation and LLMs acting as national agents with MCTS for planning. AI
