Mighty Moo (aka Teaching the subjectivity of Humanities to a Machine)

Project Specific

I'm taking work where I can get it, but I simply do not know what they want within the literature domain. These broad projects often cater to STEM, where finding a single answer is more concrete. However, stumping the system with a prompt that has a concrete answer can be torturous when it's literature. I'd love to get more out of this project, as it's fun to test the reasoning skills. However, the Mighty Moo criteria make generating a prompt that fits/stumps the model proves difficult, and I spend more time trying to find an image with SOMETHING to work off of. I am likely overthinking things, but I can't be the only one frustrated by the self-defeating prophecy of Outlier's attempt to treat the Humanities with the same scope that they do STEM fields. The criteria demands a prompt based on an image that is somehow grounded in it, while also demanding we stump it, and I fear that this is yet another case of them expecting far too much objectivity within a subjective realm. I'm not saying this is impossible, so much as I am saying that their current methodology and lack of oversight make it all about whose subjective views match most with whoever reviews it next. Am I too cynical of the tech/ignorant of expectations or is their handling of the humanities ultimately impossible to fulfill?
