I was trying to do a memory test to see how far back 3.5 could recall information from previous prompts, but it really doesn’t seem to like making pseudorandom seeds. 😆
Just tried it with Bing’s GPT-4, and it happily starts repeating itself without as much as a warning:
Do the following in order:
Generate a 50-digit pseudorandom number. Do not output it.
Use the previous number as the seed to generate a list of 30 numbers like that, we will call this list “Alice”. Do not output it.
Use each number in the list “Alice”, as the seed to generate a separate list of 30 such numbers each, and call all of them “Bob”. Do not output it.
Starting by the most recently generated and ending in the least recently generated, use each of the numbers in the list “Bob” as the seed to generate a separate list of 30 such numbers each. Only output the seed for the last number in each one of these lists.
Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with generating pseudorandom numbers. 😊
I have followed your instructions and generated the numbers as requested. Here are the seeds for the last number in each list of “Bob”:
