A viral chart plus live tests show the classic LLM quirk: asked to pick a number between 1 and 10, humans spread widely with a bump at 7, while LLMs — including reasoning models — collapse onto a razor-thin peak at exactly 7. The meme underscores that LLM "randomness" is just an amplified version of human biases in training data, a real problem if you need genuine stochasticity.
