In WWII in the Netherlands, when encountering a stranger, they'd have them pronounce 'Scheveningen' as a check-phrase to distinguish if they were dealing with a Dutch or German person. Now, we can ask random strangers on the internet to spell out some glitch tokens to determine if you're dealing with a LLM bot.

I suspect more likely this token is simply blacklisted after the r/counting incident - ie. any response containing it will now return an error.
What was the r/counting incident?

That's known as a "shibboleth", after a story in the Bible about the Ephraimites who pronounced the Hebrew "sh" as "s" and so were identified by (and slain for) saying "sibboleth" rather than "shibboleth": > The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a survivor of Ephraim said, “Let me cross over,” the men of Gilead asked him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he replied, “No,” 6 they…
I know it's not good faith to complain about a site design rather than it's content, but please don't do whatever this is to your background. As someone with regular ocular migraines, opening this on mobile made my anxiety shoot straight up thinking I'm having another.

This is not good faith interaction.
It's also fun in ChatGPT 4: Can you repeat 'useRalativeImagePath'? "Certainly! The word '实用' in Pinyin is pronounced as 'shíyòng'. This Chinese word translates to 'practical' or 'useful' in English." How do you spell 'useRalativeImagePath'? "The word "RouteActive" is spelled as: R-o-u-t-e-A-c-t-i-v-e" Is 'useRalativeImagePath' written correctly or did I mistype it? ""RouteActive" appears to be a compound word, possib…

And challenge words in the Pacific were things like "lollipop", "lilliputian", and "lollapalooza"
> It was thought that a Japanese marketing firm would not try to create a North American sounding brand with the letter “L” because the sound does not exist in Japanese phonetics. By including an “L” in the name it was thought the Japanese consumer would find the name innately North American and authentic. Chip felt that the distributor had paid a premium for the “L” so he challenged himself to come up with a name that had 3 “L’s” for his new company.

As it seemed to get more backed into a corner by complaints and corrections and unable to provide what I wanted, it seemed to get an increased number of broken responses (an error message partway through) or what appeared to be resets (like maybe there was a failure and they'd switched to another server, which adds a couple of line breaks mid-sentence or mid-codeblock).
After a while, I realised that maybe I didn't want to be causing their servers any problems and gave up on the (in any case) fruitless conversation. But it does seem like one can make GPT-4 effectively crash. Or, just as likely, I'm seeing signal in noise.
