Can you not abuse “mcts” as a buzzword like this

The thing you’re gesturing at isn’t mcts in any real sense

You can absolutely apply most of the meaningful principles of MCTS to this problem. LLMs do violate certain "strict" properties but I still see a lot of practical value in this kind of thinking.
You could replace “gesturing at” with “describing,” then explain why the description is technically wrong.
No thanks
