You definitely bring it to the point here. “Can/Could” has two different meanings in this case (and many more generally).

Nobody can legally enter your house without permission. Vampires also additionally have a second restriction, they cannot physically enter your house without permission. A warrant removes the first restriction but not the second. A vampire policeman with a warrant can legally enter, but still not physically.

Most of the time the LLM version isn’t the one there. It’s “It’s not only XXXX, it’s YYYY.”

Also I noticed I almost wrote exactly the same pattern as the one OP pointed out.

To showcase it, I prompted chatgpt to write me a few paragraphs on the importance of radio astronomy.

I already thought it somehow stopped doing that, but then, in the conclusion, it wrote:

In short, radio astronomy doesn’t just fill in the gaps of our cosmic knowledge—it opens entirely new windows into the universe.

Which follows the same pattern.

No clue. Wolfram Alpha interprets it as (10!!)!, so I assume !!! isn’t an established operator, unlike the very unintuitive !!.

Tangetially related: For the people who don’t know, I found out recently that x!! isn’t the same as (x!)! (repeated factorial), in fact, !! is a LOT less big than repeated factorial.

For example, while 30!! is 4.286 x 10^16 (so a number with 17 digits), doing 30! and then ! the result of that, would be a number with an unfathomable 10^33 digits.

n!! is its own operator called the “double factorial” and is even smaller than the regular !, because it’s the product of only the odd numbers up to n.

Edit: escape characters

Even funnier: This news article is so well written/edited, that the headline doesn’t even state that he ignored the flaws; It clearly states that he ignored the sub itself. Truly the pinnacle of journalism.

Obviously I cannot speak to the story in the tweet actually happening, but I’m not so certain that this couldn’t happen for two reasons:

1. People who spend money on a cute, innocent kid’s lemonade stand are probably not stingy. After all, you’re never really getting your money’s worth there and it’s more about the (arguably) good deed.
2. Once the kid (re)acts in a way that makes it seem it is convinced the money is its, it’ll feel like stealing from a kid to ask for the change back.

And also because Animate Dead, the spell the blurb in the meme is from, reads:

Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (the DM has the creature’s game statistics).

On the second part. That is only half true. Yes, there are LLMs out there that search the internet and summarize and reference some websites they find.

However, it is not rare that they add their own “info” to it, even though it’s not in the given source at all. If you use it to get sources and then read those instead, sure. But the output of the LLM itself should still be taken with a HUGE grain of salt and not be relied on at all if it’s critical, even if it puts a nice citation.

In addition to what other people already said, without looking at the actual percentages, this could also just be random fluctuation.
Mostly Positive is 70-79%, Mixed is 40-69%. If a game teeters around the 70% mark, it can easily cross the threshold separating the two due to pure chance, in either direction.

Exactly, only twice as common. To put in other words: For every two times someone says “free as a bird”, one person says “happy as a clam”.

That is much narrower than the gap between something commonly said and something rarely said.

I can believe it insofar as they might not have explicitly programmed it to do that. I’d imagine they put in something like “Make sure your output aligns with Elon Musk’s opinions.”, “Elon Musk is always objectively correct.”, etc. From there, this would be emergent, but quite predictable behavior.
