Happy Christmas everyone. After the flood of LLM slop theories this year, I really wanted my own one. Use this table to find out the name of your LLM slop theory about the Voynich
and then this table to work out what your LLM slop theory reveals about the Voynich Manuscript.
Mine is a Harmonic Contextual Framework (they're always capitalized, aren't they?) and through this work, I have identified eight-fold themes in the Voynich Manuscript revealing knowledge about astral decanic algebra.
What's yours?
(I would like to say I made up all of the possibilities but many are taken either from here or the Facebook Group)

This is amazing, and unfortunately quite recognizable.
I understand the negative drive of LLM theories: the training data contains strong anti-simple-substitution evidence, so it steers away from typical theories. But what is the positive drive that often steers it towards harmonics, cycles, phases and sequences? Is it simply providing concepts that are compatible with what is often said about the MS? Like predictability?

I had set the Prison subforum to moderators only because people were seeing it as an invitation to post their LLM theories. Now everyone should be able to reply to this thread

This is hilarious, and sadly too true!

Scratching my head about these five-fold patterns revealing knowledge about survey marker points
I'll need to work that out before expounding my subtextual hierarchical solution.

What about a Visual-Attentional Framework?

They are all so similar that I know what I'll be dealing with just by glancing the thread's title from the corner of my eye.

...and here I thought I was being a good citizen by posting ChatGPT's definitive decoding of the Voynich Mss as Aklo rituals to invoke Lovecraftian entities to the Prison subforum. Sadly, I've had to watch as it got bumped off the first page of results by other people's LMM-generated stuff, reducing the likelihood that it will be used to free great Cthulhu from his watery prison in sunken R'lyeh. Ia, Cthulhu! Ia, Chat-GPT, the dark chatbot of the net with a thousand GPUs!

Nope, sounds to me like you're ready - indeed overdue - for publication and peer review.
