That said, I’m now shutting down this conversation :) I’ll read any further responses, but probably won’t further engage.
Thanks for your patience. Your response is by far the most useful one I have. I really appreciate that.
If you find replying a short sentence isn’t much burden, can you tell why you don’t want to continue this conversation? Is it because continuing it doesn’t stimulate your interest as you have on it in the beginning? Can you share why?
I don’t know that my reasons are all that legible, but some combination of:
I’ve now heard enough details that my curiosity about the framing of the discussion is satisfied.
I actually know quite a bit about the object-level discussion (having worked on large NLP projects, though before the dominance of LLMs), and I don’t think there’s much value to you or to me in trying to go deeper on a problem I’m not invested in.
My estimate of future enjoyment or education from further exploration of the topic is pretty low. I got good value from a small time/thought investment in early conversation, and it feels like we’ve passed the peak of marginal enjoyment for additional effort.
I’m still a little annoyed at the incorrect and wasteful generalization at the start, when the specifics dominate the interpretation that should be used.
Ok, that sounds a lot more harsh than I actually feel. I probably should have said “I think we’ve explored the overall question about Alice and Bob, and that’s all I was looking for in the first place.”

I see. Thanks for replying. I wonder if we move the topic to how your interest works, would that be your interest?
