Wow, a solid line-up HackerNooners! You made it difficult for us to choose one winner, but there has to be one.

Context-dependent, ambiguous, and diverse, language data is a wild beast that even the best algorithms struggle to tame. It’s impossible to accurately label all this data, which inevitably means that even state-of-the-art LLMs are trained on tons of incorrectly-labeled data.

Congratulations, @FrederikBussler! You have won $1000. We will contact you to share the next steps to claim your reward.
