I will prompt ChatGPT 4 with the following: "The response must be a single word. Choose the best word from the following:" followed by the words, one on each line in the order of probability.

A word is anything that has a wiktionary entry minus vandalism. Other entries will

be removed. Note: If it is a foreign word, use the original script instead of transliterations since transliterations don't necessarily have wiktionary entries and can be ambiguous depending on the language.

If it refuses to answer or throws an error after 3 attempts, this resolves Other.

Wow I really should have bet heavier on this…

Obviously “best” is the “best word”. Why was optimal trading so high ??!??

@benshindel if you ran the test a bunch of times, optimal got picked almost every time

@Bayesian I have so little trust in these kinds of prompts to replicate though, but I also didn’t test this that rigorously 😆 I think when I tried it a week ago it declined to give me a single word

shockingly logical outcome

@BobbyLee

Oof I did so many tests and Optimal kept winning! Glad I hedged

@Joshua Yeah, I tried it yesterday and it seemed pretty random. Anything could happen.

@Joshua Ya I’ve been burned in this past on here by expecting consistency from AI responses (I’m still mad about the dang compositionality market)

Prompt will be:

@BobbyLee nitpick, but should "cellar door" not be removed? 😅

@Bayesian I made a comment on it, but no one responded. It does have a wiktionary entry where it's in the category "English nouns": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cellar_door

@Bayesian
many people would disagree with you about this

@shankypanky that is incredibly bizarre

@Bayesian clearly not in the training data

@shankypanky

It knows everything

Changing the word order by even one word seems to give a completely different spread. So to anyone who's testing the word list, make sure to reshuffle some of the words and see what it does in general, because no one-specific word order is guaranteed to be the one used until betting actually closes.

Have fun!

Do people want to resolve this early? No new options can be added. I will close the market at 9pm PST Tomorrow Feb 23 if there are more likes for resolving early.

@BobbyLee Resolve early

@BobbyLee Resolve at the normal time

@BobbyLee I would like to add the words “gyatt” and “rizzler”.
