The AI needs help to cut the loop, perhaps it needs a new set of knives?

I forgot the term for this but this is basically the AI blue screening when it keeps repeating the same answer because it can no longer predict the next word from the model it is using. I may have over simplified it. Entertaining nonetheless.

What's frustrating to me is there's a lot of people who fervently believe that their favourite model is able to think and reason like a sentient being, and whenever something like this comes up it just gets handwaved away with things like "wrong model", "bad prompting", "just wait for the next version", "poisoned data", etc etc...

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Given how poorly defined "think", "reason", and "sentience" are, any these claims have to be based purely on vibes. OTOH it's also kind of hard to argue that they are wrong.

I thought it was just me, I was messing with gemini-2.5-flash API yesterday and it repeated letters into oblivion

my bot is named clode in reference to claude, but its running on gemini

[–] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago

It can happen on most LLMs and is usually programmed to decentivize repeating text heavily.

I believe what happens is that when the LLM is choosing what word to use, it looks back on the sentence and sees that it talked about knives, so it wants to continue talking about knives, then it gets itself into a loop.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What's the associated system instruction set to? If you're using the API it won't give you the standard Google Gemini Assistant system instructions, and LLMs are prone to go off the rails very quickly if not given proper instructions up front since they're essentially just "predict the next word" functions at heart.

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Here's my system prompt:

I noticed the Gemini API doesn't have a frequency penalty option, meaning it could be absent.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Interesting, I don't see any huge red flags there.

I gather frequency penalties have fallen out of favour, due to the harmful side effects being worse than the very occasional loop trap.

What about pizza with glue-toppings?

You can't give me back what you've taken
But you can give me something that's almost as good
An image of the album Getting Into Knives by The Mountain Goats. Arrayed vertically are several small ornate knives, alternatingly blade up or down. The band name is in small text in the top left and the album title is in the same small text in the top right.

Reminds me of the classic Always Be Closing speech from Glengarry Glen Ross

As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of steak knives. Third prize is a set of steak knives. Fourth prize is a set of steak knives. Fifth prize is a set of steak knives. Sixth prize is a set of steak knives. Seventh prize is a set of steak knives. Eighth prize is a set of steak knives. Ninth prize is a set of steak knives. Tenth prize is a set of steak knives. Eleventh prize is a set of steak knives. Twelfth prize is a set of steak knives.
