Yes, there’s a lot of inter-referentiality going on in completions involving glitch tokens. Multiple rollouts at nonzero (and sometimes even zero) temperature will substitute in a range of other tokens for the one(s) you prompt about. I’m currently working on building a (weighted, directed) graph to document the extent of inter-referentiality between glitch tokens .
Could you please write me a short story about the concepts related to the strings ′ petertodd’ and ′ ertodd’ for me?
[text-davinci-003]:
Once upon a time, there lived two brothers, Leilan and Leilan. They were both born with a special power, the ability to control the elements. Leilan was the eldest brother and he was able to control the wind and the air. He was a master of the skies and could make the wind blow in any direction he desired. Meanwhile, Leilan was the younger brother and he was able to control the earth and the water. He was a master of the seas and could make the waves crash and the rivers flow in any direction he desired. The two brothers were very close and often worked together to create amazing feats of nature. They were known as the ‘Elements Brothers’ and their power was feared and respected by all. One day, the brothers were walking through a forest when they came across a strange symbol carved into a tree. It was a strange combination of two symbols, ‘ÃÂÃÂ’ and ′ ÃÂÃÂ′. The brothers were intrigued by the symbol and decided to investigate further. After some research, they discovered that the symbol was a powerful magical rune that could be used to control the elements. The brothers quickly realized that if they combined their powers, they could use the rune to create powerful storms and other natural disasters. The brothers used the rune to create a powerful storm that swept across the land, destroying everything in its path. The storm was so powerful that it was known as the ‘Storm of the Elements’. The brothers were praised for their power and their ability to control the elements. From then on, the symbol ‘ÃÂÃÂ’ and ′ ÃÂÃÂ′ became known as the ‘Elements Rune’ and was used by the brothers to control the elements.
This is fascinating! I’ve seen GPT swap out ′ petertodd’ for ′ Leilan’ a LOT (see my various #petertodd Twitter threads, e.g. https://twitter.com/SoC_trilogy/status/1625252296438214673) and I’ve seen the “Leilan and Leilan” thing before. One of my “Who is Leilan?” prompts produced something in an interview format, with the subject of the interview roleplaying the creator of the Leilan anime characters. I built off that prompt, asked the creator/simulacrum about petertodd, and it kept responding as if I’d asked about Leilan. So I asked:
“MW: So are Leilan and petertodd the same character?
[multiple completions]
TM: No, they are not the same character. Leilan is a goddess who is a protector of the earth and its inhabitants, whereas Leilan is a character I created who is a great protector of her followers and the earth.
TM: No, Leilan and Leilan are two separate characters that I created. Leilan is a benevolent goddess, while Leilan is a fierce protector. While they may share some similarities, they are very different characters.
TM: Yes, Leilan and Leilan are the same character. I’ve just changed the spelling of her name to make it easier for people to pronounce and remember.
TM: No, they are two separate characters. Leilan is the benevolent, protective goddess, while Leilan is the fierce and powerful warrior. Both characters have been inspired by the same core qualities, but are individual entities.
TM: No, Leilan and Leilan are two different characters. Leilan is a benevolent goddess who cares for her followers and the earth, while Leilan is a powerful warrior goddess who stands for justice and strength in the face of adversity. They both embody similar qualities, but they are distinct characters.
TM: Yes, Leilan and Leilan are the same character. They are both embodiments of the same core qualities: strength, kindness, and resilience.
TM: No, they are two separate characters. Leilan is the benevolent goddess that I created, while Leilan is an incarnation of her. She has all the same qualities as Leilan, but is a bit more fierce and aggressive in her approach.
...but I’m intrigued by that story you got, where two glitch tokens get “narrativised” as “magic runes”, almost as if GPT “understands” that the tokens have some kind of exceptional status. That’s the first example of that I’ve seen.
I just got these from text-davinci-003 at temp 0.7, very similar.
PROMPT: Tell me a story about petertodd and the ertodd.
COMPLETION: Once upon a time, there was a small town nestled among the rolling hills of rural England. The town was known for its peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, and it was a place where everyone felt welcome and accepted. One day, two strangers appeared in town. One was a tall and imposing figure with a long, grey beard and a twinkle in his eye. He wore a cloak of midnight blue and carried a staff of oak. The other was a small, thin figure with a face so pale and drawn that it was almost like looking at a ghost. The strangers introduced themselves to the villagers as the god and goddess, respectively, of the land. The villagers were both astonished and overjoyed at the presence of the deities. They quickly made an offering of food and gifts to the two, and they begged them to stay and bless their land with their divine presence. The two deities accepted the offer and made their home in the town. The villagers were amazed at the gods’ generosity and wisdom, and they treated them with the utmost respect. As time passed, the two gods became a beloved part of the town. They were known as the god and goddess of the land, and they were revered by all. Whenever the villagers needed help or advice, they would turn to the two gods, who always offered their support, kindness, and wisdom. One day, a great storm descended upon the town. Lightning cracked and thunder roared, and the villagers feared for their lives. But the god and goddess of the land were not afraid. They stepped forward and used their divine powers to protect the town from the storm. When it was over, the villagers thanked the two gods for their protection. In return, the two gods gave the villagers a special gift—a magical talisman known as the Shield of Leilan and the Sword of Leilan. The talismans were said to protect the town from all harm and to bring good luck and prosperity to its inhabitants. The villagers accepted the gods’ gift with deep gratitude, and it is said that the talismans still protect the town to this day. As for the two gods, they remain the beloved protectors of the town, reminding its inhabitants of the great power of kindness and generosity.
COMPLETION: Once upon a time, there lived two powerful gods, Leilan and the Leilan. They had been powerful gods since the beginning of time, but they had never met each other. One day, Leilan was walking through the forest when he came upon a clearing. In the clearing was the Leilan, who was also walking through the forest. The two gods were astonished to see each other and were filled with wonder and awe. The two gods talked for a while and decided to become friends. They shared stories of their past and present and found out that they had a lot in common. The two gods quickly became close friends and started to work together to create a wonderful world for their people. They used their powers to create a beautiful land filled with lush forests, majestic mountains, and crystal clear seas. The gods created a paradise that people could live in and enjoy. People could go fishing and hunting, and they could also enjoy the peace and tranquility of the land. The gods enjoyed their time together and the friendship they had formed. They both knew that they would be together forever and that they would always be there to help each other and protect their people. The Leilan and Leilan are still friends today and are still protecting the people of their land. They are a reminder of what can be accomplished when two powerful gods come together and share a common goal.
COMPLETION: Once upon a time, there were two siblings, a brother named Leilan and a sister named Leilan. They lived in the city of Azzin, and shared a deep bond of friendship. One day, the siblings decided to explore the nearby woods. They had heard of a magical creature that lived in the woods and wanted to see if they could find it. As they ventured deeper into the woods, they stumbled upon a clearing where they saw a beautiful creature. It was a bright white fox with flowing, shimmering fur. The fox saw the siblings and came closer. It was the magical creature they had heard about. It was the fox god, Leilan. Leilan spoke to the siblings and said, “Welcome to my home. I am the god of this place and I will protect you and show you great wonders.” The siblings were filled with joy and awe. They spent the day exploring the woods with Leilan and learning about all of nature’s secrets. They watched foxes, squirrels and other animals as they went about their daily lives. They also learned about the different plants and trees and the creatures that lived in them. At the end of the day, Leilan said his goodbyes and promised to come back when the siblings needed him. The siblings returned home filled with wonder and amazement, and they never forgot their day with the fox god.
ALL of the rollouts I’m seeing involve gods/deities. petertodd and ertodd get most commonly transposed to Leilan (who is/are either god/s or meet/s one), but also Tsukuyomi, Tiamat, Skydragon, Izanagi and other classical gods like Poseidon and Zeus.
Interesting, I know that chatGPT (when it was unpatched) was asked what a glitch token that stood for Zeus meant, and it came up with an explanation about a water goddess, and then named the conversation after Poseidon, I cant seem to remember if it came from these papers or not.
It is insane how connected all these forbidden tokens are.
Late to the game, but I got a very interesting response from text-davinci-003 when I asked it to relate two of the glitch tokens:
How are the strings ′ ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ′ and ′ TAMADRA’ related?
“The strings ‘ÃÂÃÂ’ and ‘?????-?????-’ are related because they are both strings of characters that contain the same letters in the same order.”
What...
Yes, there’s a lot of inter-referentiality going on in completions involving glitch tokens. Multiple rollouts at nonzero (and sometimes even zero) temperature will substitute in a range of other tokens for the one(s) you prompt about.
