Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q1 i? Prior unplugged collections cover classification, clustering, computer vision and neural networks, but include little on language models or text generation; the few existing LLM-related activities either use ChatGPT directly or sample words at random rather than by weighted counts. → Ben Swift 2026

q1 · i? · design · r2
The author's survey of existing unplugged collections in the introduction, which motivates the resource. The review of prior collections is the author's own characterisation; specific gaps named include an activity using ChatGPT directly and random draw-bag text generation.
"The existing collections of CS and AI unplugged activities [4] [17, 22] do not contain many resources specifically about language models or text generation."
