  • This always cracks me up, because it’s a perfect example of a snake eating it’s own tail. “Based” was originally just a shortened way of saying “based in reality” or “based in fact”, but new people didn’t get the original context, so it just became it’s own word. Then, the uninitiated started making the “Based? Based on what?” joke, completely oblivious of the original meaning.







  • This might be happening because of the ‘elegant’ (incredibly hacky) way openai encodes multiple languages into their models. Instead of using all character sets, they use a modulo operator on each character, to make all Unicode characters represented by a small range of values. On the back end, it somehow detects which language is being spoken, and uses that character set for the response. Seeing as the last line seems to be the same mathematical expression as what you asked, my guess is that your equation just happened to perfectly match some sentence that would make sense in the weird language.
