Ah, I think I wasn't clear enough and you misinterpreted me! I'm absolutely not suggesting an LLM for solving the "describe to aliens what our system looks like" problem or doing the assessment of our description.
I was trying to describe how, in the future when we have surveys of thousands of other star systems, it would be fun if there was a website that played the role of the aliens. We would describe to it in plain language what our system looked like and it would tell us if we did a good enough job to get home or not. To me, this means finding how many rows match in a database. I'm not sure how to turn plain language into a database query but, if pressed, today I'd reach for an LLM.
