I’ve been having consistent issues with it adding Hindi words (just one usually) in the middle of its output. And sounds like other have been having this too, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47832912 I don’t speak Hindi, have never asked it to translate anything in Hindi.

Does nobody else laugh that a company supposedly worth more than almost anything else at the moment, is basically hacking around a load of text files telling their trillion dollar wonder machine it absolutely must stop talking to customers about goblins, gremlins and ogres? The number one discussion point, on the number one tech discussion site. This literally is, today, the state of the art. McKenna looks more corre…
Spoiler: future versions of mainstream AIs will be fine tuned in the exact same way to subtly sneak in favorable mentions of sponsored products as part of their answers. And Chinese open-weight AIs will do the exact same thing, only about China, the Chinese government and the overarching themes of Xi Jinping Thought.
Would love if OpenAI did more of these types of posts. Off the top of my head, I'd like to understand: - The sepia tint on images from gpt-image-1 - The obsession with the word "seam" as it pertains to coding Other LLM phraseology that I cannot unsee is Claude's "___ is the real unlock" (try google it or search twitter!). There's no way that this phrase is overrepresented in the training data, I don't remember people…
>with the word "seam" as it pertains to coding I thought this was an established term when it comes to working with codebases comprised of multiple interacting parts. https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1325...

Claude, at least 4.5, not checked recently, has/had an obsession with the number 47 (or numbers containing 47). Ask it to pick a random time or number, or write prose containing numbers, and the bias was crazy. Also "something shifted" or "cracked".
Humans tend to be biased towards 47 as well. It’s almost halfway between 1 and 100 and prime so you’ll find people picking it when they have to choose a random number. Then there’s the whole Pomona College thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47_(number)

I experienced this even second hand when a coworker excitedly told of an encounter with a cold reader, and I knew the answer would be blue 7 before he told me what his guess was. Just his recap of the conversation was enough.

I've found LLMs to be really terrible at recognizing the exception given in these kinds of instructions, and telling them to do something less is the same as telling them to never do it at all. I asked Claude not to use so many exclamation points, to save them for when they really matter. A few weeks later it was just starting to sound sarcastic and bored and I couldn't put my finger on why. Looking back through the…
So, did your Claude switch from "You're absolutely right!" to "You're absolutely right." or was it deeper than that?
A plausible theory I've seen going around: https://x.com/QiaochuYuan/status/2049307867359162460
