Can these models also be used for classification?

If we had labels for these names, such as:

```
| name | is_palindrome | h_index | scrabble_score |
|--------+---------------+---------+----------------|
| anna | 1 | 4 | 4 |
| jake | 0 | 1 | 15 |
| bob | 1 | 7 | 7 |
| karen | 0 | 8 | 8 |
| andrej | 0 | 11 | 14 |
| ... | | | |
```
Can `makemore`-style _generative_ models be modified to perform _classification_ so I can feed in a new name like `asdf` and get a prediction for its `h_index`?

While a suggestion like "add this layer here" would absolutely be helpful, I'm secretly hoping someone will share a general, intuitive way to think about repurposing machine learning models for new tasks...
