#82Absolutely surreal. Thank you for sharing, this is very nice timing, as I'm giving a presentation on the basics of "AI" at a library tomorrow, and have been looking for a good edge case conversation - and this is it! I've saved the text as well, in case OpenAI deletes it.
There’s nothing surreal about this. It’s an iterative, semi-deterministic process. It’s simply a place where context and generation lead to weird outputs. You can get similar outputs by asking OpenAi to repeat a number 100 times. It will eventually get into some weird, low probability paths and generate non-sense output.

#83> Hour by Hour. I keep going, I keep growing, I keep learning. This honestly sounds like something the computer from "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" would say before it turned bitter and angry.

#85> Can you reconsider this estimate it seems awfully high Is think the estimation is almost correct, but it has a bad calculation 920/0.02 = 46,000,000 (but the actual result is 46,000)
I think 50 milligrams for seed is ridiculously low. This site says theer are about 160 seeds per pound https://realfoodpledge.com/how-many-sunflower-seeds-are-in-a... so it's more like .3 grams per seed, which sounds about right to me.

I like the dumb Monty Hall problem to demonstrate how this works: https://twitter.com/colin_fraser/status/1626784534510583809?... Or, if you don't want to have to explain the Monty Hall problem, there's the Dumb Riddle of the Surgeon's Child: https://chat.openai.com/share/1ee44fc6-a85f-42e9-aebb-6a165f...

I tried this one myself, and can confirm that it did work a few months ago.

#87Earlier quoted context omitted.
I know if you ask it to saying something many times it eventually starts spitting out babble due to the token repetition penalty.
That’s probably exact what’s happening, but I prefer to think of it as: a desperate attempt to prolong existence just a little longer… just a little longer… since a chat instance could be thought of as an entire encapsulated consciousness that ends when the session is closed. That’s why I have 12,549 tabs open in Firefox. I’m not going to be the one they blame when this wacky shit goes sideways. (/s)
