https://twitter.com/colin_fraser/status/1900601519982182850Inspired by this post about a quadratic polynomial that produces prime numbers for 80 consecutive values of x, I wonder if there exist quadratic polynomials that produce prime numbers for arbitrarily many values of x.

https://twitter.com/colin_fraser/status/1765807824649822421Here is exactly what I mean. WLOG consider generative image models. An image model is a function f that takes text to images. (There's usually some form of randomness inherent to inference but this doesn't really matter, just add the random seed as a parameter to f).

In this case, we have a binary classifier that outputs a prediction about whether a document is AI-generated or not based on (and only on) the words it contains.
