@zaph@Stamets It should be "a bank." People make bank inquiries. Traditionally they have scales to measure precious materials. They of course guard treasure and precious things.
@zaph@Stamets ai just doesn't do those relations that well. It knows how riddles are supposed to look like, but I doubt it can do the mental leap between questions and answers
AI doesn't have a mind to do mental leaps, it only knows syntax. Just a form of syntax so, so advanced that it sometimes accidentally gets things factually correct. Sometimes.
It's more advanced than just syntax. It should be able to understand the double meanings behind riddles. Or at the very least, that books don't have scales, even if it doesn't understand that the scales that a piano has aren't the same as the ones a fish has.
