Ask ChatGPT to pick a number between 1 and 100

I saw that YouTube video as well.

For very different reasons though. 37 is what people think is the most random, because humans are dumb. The LLM here tried to choose the most likely.

Hello Veritasium enjoyer

What are you referring to?
- YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.
  
  He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.
  
  I know veritasium but I hadn't seen the video. Thanks, I'll check it out.
  
  I thought I'd give you context just in case, as your question was vague. You might not have consumed YouTube and was blissfully unaware. :)
  
  Thank you for being thoughtful :)
- Most probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6iQrh2TK98
  
  Thanks, I'll have a look
In his video, he shows that the more common answers are actually 42 and 69.

I discards them because they're picked for a reason rather than a human genuinely trying trying to pick a random number, but they're still way more common than 37.
- That's because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they're funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.

I always like to throw out 37 because of Dante's girlfriend.

Title card from Star Trek: Voyager S02E01, with the crew of Voyager standing around a 1936 Ford truck in their cargo bay. The episode title "The 37's" is at the top left of the image.

HOW DID THE TRUCK GET INTO SPACE??

Love that episode though.
