Model spirals in absurd self-correction loop over the word 'rebuttal'
repligate · x · 2026-11-05
A screenshot shows a model trapped in an absurd loop while 'fixing' the perfectly correct spelling of 'rebuttal': it flags a typo, then writes paragraphs of increasingly confused corrections, spelling the word letter by letter and flip-flopping, before finally admitting the original spelling was right. Shared by repligate with 'something disturbing is happening'.
