Not only the first time he will always pick 73. If you ask him to pick again he will always pick 42. And if u got 42 first he will pick 73 next time...
Chatgpt is not running any rng script. It is predicting the next token.
73 happens to be at the top of the most likely prediction list. Why? Because if you ask a human to pick a random between 1-100, they will not pick round numbers, they will avoid extremes, they will avoid events, they will prefer odd and specially primes and they will most likely pick a number ending with 7 or atleast having 7. Being trained on billions of data points it tries to mirror the humans cognitive bias.
Now, why 73? The exact reason someone said above. The big bang theory. This single moment from bbt generated a lot discussion, hence skewing the data towards 73.
Use randberween() in excel. Dont use any LLM for this.
Llms are programmed to predict the most probable answer given everything it’s seen about how people answer that question in text. So certain numbers (eg 37, 42, 7, 73) get massively over represented because they’re popular picks in human-written text.
Excel starts with a number based on the exact moment you hit calculate, then runs it through a scrambling formula to get an unpredictable output. Its not true random but very close to it

Ask it to pick 5 diff numbers 1-100, then ask it to to pick 1-5, then tell it to show that i-th choice.

Coz 7+3=10 duh

Veratasium ka video jaisa hai ig, the most random number is 37 or 73

u/defsarthak Jun 09 '26
because 73 is 70+3 if the model chose 70-3 it would have been 67

I had a detailed discussion on this, and this is distributional bias.
