Apologies friends, this might be a really dumb idea for lots of different reasons, but sometimes you have to put even dumb ideas into the wild.
The basic premise is this:
1. We provide a dictionary of Linear A
1. We provide a bunch (ideally all) of the Linear A sentences to GPT
2. It attempts to guess the missing words in a sentence, given the context of the time, and the words it does know
3. GPT reviews, and approves/disproves the translation
4. The process repeats
What am I missing? Given infinite time/compute, isn't it possible GPT could guess the correct translation? And we'll know it's correct when most of the sentences sort of sound correct?
Forks, thoughts, and death threats are appreciated. But ideally in that order.
