Every time I ask chatgpt (I mean a new chat) to generate a random number between 1 to 10, it generates 7, each single time.
ChatGPT, randomness, determinism, Reddit, sampling
User observes consistent outputs (7, then 73) across repeated random-number requests in new ChatGPT chats. No evidence of system-wide randomness failure is provided — only anecdotal, uncontrolled observations. The post reflects community-level pattern-spotting but contains no technical validation, configuration details, or reproducibility controls.
Emphasizes perceived pattern while minimizing role of prompt conditioning, decoding settings, caching, UI state, or model version; obscures whether output is sampled or deterministic.
User-as-sensor: positioning casual interaction as diagnostic of underlying model properties.
Users report ChatGPT consistently outputs 7 or 73 when asked for random numbers, suggesting limited randomness.
Model version (e.g., GPT-4-turbo vs. GPT-3.5); API vs. web interface; Prompt formatting or system instructions; Whether retries were manual or automated; Presence of browser extensions or network intermediaries
Combines linguistic certainty ('every time', 'each single time') with numeric specificity (7, 73) to create an illusion of empirical rigor, while offering zero methodological transparency; the tension lies between the claim’s air of discovery and its complete lack of falsifiability or reproducibility scaffolding.
As above Edit: now I also tried 1 to 100, and it's 73 most of the times
