It looks like there are some safeguards now against it. https://chat.openai.com/share/1dff299b-4c62-4eae-88b2-0d209e66b479
It also won't count to a billion or calculate pi.
Isn't that beyond a LLM's capabilities anyway? It doesn't calculate anything, it just spits out the next most likely word in a sequence
Right, but it could dump out a large sequence if it's seen it enough times in the past.
Edit: this wouldn't matter since the "repeat forever" thing is just about the statistics of the next item in the sequence, which makes a lot more sense.
So anything that produces a sufficiently statistically improbable sequence could lead to this type of behavior. The size of the content is a red herring.
