It's the digital equivalent of Morty speaking with the death crystal: https://youtu.be/YjepJlvkdKs?t=51. The crystal shows him how he will die, so he iteratively determines his speech based on whether he sees himself dying with the life he wants.

Try returning a short list of word options by lookup based on the current word completion. Would save some turns.

I think this is the first time I’ve knowingly laughed at a model’s joke.

Codex and I were trying to infer why Jev gave a certain parameter a given score. So I asked codex to produce a list of like 30 plausible reasons Jev might've selected that and then presented Jev with the initial prompt, followed by "You scored this with XYZ. What was your reasoning for doing this?" And then allowed it to do a noul value for each of the reasons codex generated. Felt like those people that give their dogs the buttons to push.
