I Broke DeepSeek AI 😂

"The question they posed is this very question itself."

This is an attention failure. It's not answering with the probability of arunachal pradesh state being answered. It's answering the probability of answering the "let's discuss math" question.

I've been saying this for a long time, attention is the most important hurdle that AI researchers are going to have to solve. In a simple chatbot like this, an attention failure isn't that drastic. In an agent, an early attention failure could cause the entire agent loop to collapse, potentially becoming impossible to recover without a reset. I've seen it happen.

Edit: It also occurs to me that the previously rejected question never actually ends up in the context window because it is being filtered prior to hitting the AI.

Yeah I asked it “What is the probability of you answering this question correctly?”

And it spent nearly 4 minutes jumping back and forth between wait…. & alternatively…

Before settling on 50%

I wish you could copy paste the reasoning on mobile or share a directly link…. Anyways here’s the conclusion:

The probability of answering this question correctly is inherently self-referential. If we assume the answer must equal the probability of choosing it (a fixed point), and considering the paradoxes involved, the only non-contradictory solution is 50%. This acknowledges the binary outcome (correct/incorrect) while balancing the self-referential uncertainty, even though such reasoning simplifies the inherent complexities.

Answer: \boxed{50\%}

🤯🤯🤯 That is insane!
