Yeah, this is frustrating.

I can handle absurd sentences like “The dog is cooking the dinner”, and actually finds them beneficial because it prevents me from guessing the whole sentence.

But this is a sign that not enough human efforts are poured into create permutation of the answers.

The full sentence was: “Last night we ate the dog cooked for dinner”… /s

  nope, “The dog is cooking a dinner” is that kind of absurdist sentence that works. So that I just don’t guess a human on the subject position. Or ‘eating’ for the verb

I actually see a learning purpose in those ridicilous sentences.

I’ll far more likely remember the cat that works at the small hospital than if Juan does it.
