    There’s a classic board game called Balderdash wherein one player holds a card with an extremely obscure, but real, word and its definition.

    The goal of the other players is to write down definitions for this word which sound like they could be associated with the word to try to fool the other players into voting for theirs as the correct answer.

    In case you were unaware, this is (simplistically) how AI LLM systems like ChatGPT work. They scour their language database and mountains of internet metadata to provide responses to questions which sound like they could be the right answer, but in reality they have no way of knowing how accurate it is, although they do a pretty good job of getting pretty close, most of the time.

    So, while everyone else is getting could be answers to their questions via AI and trying to figure out how accurate it might be, your job, expert, is to show the card with the real definition on it.
