Apologies friends, this might be a really dumb idea for lots of different reasons, but sometimes you have to put even dumb ideas into the wild.<p>The basic premise is this:
1. We provide a dictionary of Linear A
1. We provide a bunch (ideally all) of the Linear A sentences to GPT
2. It attempts to guess the missing words in a sentence, given the context of the time, and the words it does know
3. GPT reviews, and approves/disproves the translation
4. The process repeats<p>What am I missing? Given infinite time/compute, isn't it possible GPT could guess the correct translation? And we'll <i>know</i> it's correct when most of the sentences sort of sound correct?<p>Forks, thoughts, and death threats are appreciated. But ideally in that order.
