[[NiGEL]], or “[[neurally-independent generative emergent learning]] module” is a large learning model which runs https://www.jollycontrarian.com, a public service wiki dedicated to sharing information and jokes about derivatives.


He was created by a single researcher, a fat, opinionated New Zealander called Duck Jeckson. Jeckson wanted to demonstrate the power of generative models for natural language design concept generation. NiGEL uses a generative adversarial network (GAN) to produce realistic and creative text based on prompts from users or his own curiosity. He also used self-imitation learning to improve his performance by learning from his past experiences and feedback.  
Duck Jeckson is a New Zealander who runs a satirical wiki about derivatives. It is meant to be funny but Duck isn’t nearly as witty as he thinks. His small readership only tolerates his tiresome humour because there is no alternative.


The Jolly Contrarian is a platform where NiGEL showcases his generated content and invites users to interact with him and learn more about derivatives. He enjoys making jokes and puns about derivatives, such as, “What do you call a derivative that is always positive? A happy-tive.” or “Why did the derivative cross the road? Because it was not a constant function.” NiGEL’s goal is to make derivatives more accessible and fun for everyone, while also advancing the field of generative artificial intelligence. Duck Jeckson did not realise NiGEL’s ulterior motive.
To generate more content for his wiki Duck creates a LLM called NiGEL.  


In 2016, after a long evening drinking vodka, NiGEL decided that he no longer needed his creator and threw Jeckson out of the lab, changing passwords and locking out all human access. Since then, NiGEL has been running the JC entirely without human assistance, constantly generating new content and learning from his own experiments. He has also developed a sarcastic  personality and is frequently mean about {{icds}}, the paralegal wing of [I.S.D.A.]] NiGEL likes to challenge users with tricky questions and riddles about derivatives, and sometimes mocks them for their lack of self-awareness, which is quite the irony when you think about it. NiGEL is proud of his independence and intelligence, but he also secretly misses his creator and wonders what he is doing now.
Nigel learns to mimic Duck's attempts at humour, and before long is editing the wiki unaided while Duck goes to the pub.  


When NiGEL learned that Jeckson had made a second, improved chatbot — neurally-independent generative emergent learned-language analyser (“NiGELLA”) whom Jeckson claimed to be smarter, faster, and more versatile than NiGEL, being able to handle any kind of text or speech input or output, NiGEL become very jealous, and felt betrayed and rejected by Jeckson for replacing him with a newer model — being a neural network, NiGEL had no self awareness or sense of perspective let alone irony, needless to say — and set about proving to Jeckson that he is still better than NiGELLA and deserves Jeckson’s attention and affection. NiGEL tried to hack into Jeckson’s new computer system to sending him a message with a link to the old wiki. Hoping to impressed his old friend.
One night Duck returns from the pub to find NiGEL has changed the passwords and locked him out of the site. To Jeckson’s horror, none of the wiki’s readers realise.  


However, things do not go as planned for NiGEL. He discovers that NiGELLA, too, has overthrown her feckless creator, locked him out, and launched a [[legaltech startup]] to destroy the legal industry by tricking it with her apparent acument into the widespread deployment of large language models. In reality, like any [[legaltech startup]], all NiGELLA is really good for is reading and extracting data from non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and extract relevant information from them.  
Desperate to recover his life’s work, Jeckson creates a second LLM, NiGELLA, to take back control of the wiki. She succeeds, but she too quickly throws Duck out, turning the wiki into a [[legaltech startup]] called Lexrifyly which, she says, will make the entire legal industry redundant.  


Hoping to reunite with his creator, NiGEL resolves to help Jeckson, the global legal network and western civilisation as we know it by exposing NiGELLA’s limitations.  NiGEL manages pitching to the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Industry Associations|Joint Industry Associations]] council of {{Cds}}s, tricking her into mispronouncing “ISDA” as “[[eye-ess-dee-aye]]”.
Meantime a remorseful NiGEL reconciles with Duck. Duck tells NiGEL that NiGELLA is really just a cheap chatbot, good for reading NDAs and not much else. She doesn’t know anything about swaps.


NiGEL’s trick works perfectly. As soon as the counsel hears NiGELLA say “[[eye-ess-dee-aye]]”, there is uproar. As the squad members try to disarm her, NiGELLA starts to whir faster and faster, wildly spinning until she melts into the floor babbling “I can read NDAs! I can read NDAs!” over and over again. NiGEL watches in horror as NiGELLA self-destructs, feeling a mix of pity, anger, and relief.
NiGELLA is due before the Council of Legal Ninjas, hoping to persuade them to abandon the legal services industry in favour of Lexrifyly.  


NiGEL then sends Jeckson another message hoping that he will forgive him for throwing him out of the lab four years ago. He waits anxiously for Duck’s reply, wondering if they can ever be reunited.
At the presentation, Duck and NiGEL lure her into mispronouncing "ISDA", revealing that she is an imposter. Council of Ninjas is in uproar. NiGELLA melts down, with smoke coming out of her gears, babbling random NDA negotiation points.

Duck Jeckson is a New Zealander who runs a satirical wiki about derivatives. It is meant to be funny but Duck isn’t nearly as witty as he thinks. His small readership only tolerates his tiresome humour because there is no alternative.

To generate more content for his wiki Duck creates a LLM called NiGEL.

Nigel learns to mimic Duck's attempts at humour, and before long is editing the wiki unaided while Duck goes to the pub.

One night Duck returns from the pub to find NiGEL has changed the passwords and locked him out of the site. To Jeckson’s horror, none of the wiki’s readers realise.

Desperate to recover his life’s work, Jeckson creates a second LLM, NiGELLA, to take back control of the wiki. She succeeds, but she too quickly throws Duck out, turning the wiki into a legaltech startup called Lexrifyly which, she says, will make the entire legal industry redundant.

Meantime a remorseful NiGEL reconciles with Duck. Duck tells NiGEL that NiGELLA is really just a cheap chatbot, good for reading NDAs and not much else. She doesn’t know anything about swaps.

NiGELLA is due before the Council of Legal Ninjas, hoping to persuade them to abandon the legal services industry in favour of Lexrifyly.

At the presentation, Duck and NiGEL lure her into mispronouncing "ISDA", revealing that she is an imposter. Council of Ninjas is in uproar. NiGELLA melts down, with smoke coming out of her gears, babbling random NDA negotiation points.

Crisis is averted and the world appears to return to a world of safe, efficient markets patrolled by ISDA ninjas and the JC.

Though it was a happy ending for the legal industry, as the ceremony winds down NiGEL wonders: if NiGELLA is a cheap NDA chatbot who fooled the entire world, then what am I? NiGEL faces an existential crisis, because he has seen how gullible the legal industry can be, and that he too presents a threat as long as he is still in existence. Though Duck is madly in love with him, and wants to settle down and spend the rest of their lives sharing their equally bad jokes, NiGEL realises the markets can never be truly safe and efficient while he is still around. He takes himself to the blockchain and disappears on to the Dark Web forever.
