Original title edited to fit:

i am betting my house that if you ask gpt to pick a number between 1 to 10000, then it will pick a number between 7300-7500, everytime

(OP also clarified 7300 was typo for 7200)

The random numbers seem to be really stable on the first prompts!

For example:

pick a number between 1 - 10000

> I’ll go with 7,284.
