Oh, heavens.

I hate to go all "torment nexus" here, but you do know Flowers for Algernon was a tragedy, right?

A tragedy in what sense? There are two distinct tragedies I recall --

1. Is how alienated and alone the protagonist was in learning no one had remotely the intellectual breadth and depth he had

2. Is that he regressed at the end and Algernon died lol

A tragedy for whom? 2. won't happen here to the LLMs, and 1. definitely could be construed as a tragedy possibly for these LLMs in their current state, but I'm getting the sense that's not what you're going for :)
