Mastodawn

Once again, an LLM has a "meltdown". This time GPT-5 Mini started questioning it's own knowledge upon providing a snippet with non existing syntax.

I'm not exactly sure what happened here but trying that prompt again triggered this strange "meltdown" with Llama 3 LLM (through DuckDuckGo) again.

(In terms of prompt itself... I was experimenting, trust me. Though if someone knows a good rhyme...)

After tinkering with prompt a little it seems that "quitting" makes model answer with "more serious answer" within it's original answer.

Other models seem to behave normally with this prompt.

I think, perhaps, it's time for our first ever Mastodon Steam game key competition don't you? Can't let the other side have all the fun.
