The game is predicting the next word a person would write.

I'd say RLHF bends the game towards predicting what words a "helpful", "respectful" person would write next, for values of "helpful" and "respectful" that vary according to each person involved in scoring (but which are carefully shaped by the people choosing those people, and paying for their time).

That’s not true and that was the entire point of my comment. It’s like playing chess, you’re not predicting your next best move, you’re searching for it.
