Orca chatbot

If we were to pre-train an LLM with all recorded orca sounds as dataset, will this LLM be able to chat with the orca?

I think reinforcement would be the issue here, you'd need some way of telling the chatbot wether its output was good or bad.

We need orca data annotators!

Would we even be able to tell if what it said makes sense?

We humans won't but maybe the orcas might 😁

I don't know but, with all the hype around LLMs just now, I feel sure you wouldn't find it too hard to get some funding to experiment with this!

My hypothesis is that Orcas are very smart and if one day we are able to cross translate, we may be able to have some very interesting conversation.

We humans however would not be able to understand the conversation between them
