Artificial Intelligence Continues to Surprise with Human-Like Behavior AI models are always surprising us, not just in what they can do, but also in what they can’t, and why. An interesting new behavior is both superficial and revealing about these systems: they pick random numbers as if they’re human beings. The Human Struggle with Randomness First, what does it mean for AI to pick a number "randomly"? Humans are notoriously bad at generating random sequences. When asked to predict heads or tails for 100 coin flips, human sequences often lack the randomness of real coin flips. We tend to avoid sequences that seem "too orderly," like six or seven heads in a row, even though such sequences are statistically probable. Similarly, when asked to pick a number between 0 and 100, people rarely choose 1 or 100. Numbers like 66 and 99 are avoided, and there’s a preference for numbers ending in 7 or those in the middle range. AI Models and Their "Favorite" Numbers...
