The interesting part for me: this held for a year because nobody found the method. Once the method was identified, the rest was mechanical, and an LLM is a perfect executor for the mechanical part. It knows Morse and every language on the list. And it still took twenty rounds of back and forth with the author, mostly about reading the beads from a photo. So execution is basically solved now. Finding the method is still the hard part ;)

Fair guess, but only half right. English is my third language, so AI polishes my grammar. The observations are mine. At 60 I take help with commas wherever I can get it ;)

It's against the rules to polish with AI. People won't care about your grammar, they want human voices.

Fair point about voice. The stories and opinions here are mine, from my own life. If some sentences come out too smooth, that is the tradeoff of writing in a third language with a helper. I understand the wariness.
