That's correct — and you're right to point out this common reply by AI chat boxes. Let's breakdown why that happens:

📝 LLMs are predictive models: When a specific pattern shows up a lot in the training data set — like your example reply, the LLM will be more likely to reply in a similar way in the future, just like when people walk through a patch of grass and create a visible path. In the future, when others are going through a similar route, they might be more inclined to follow along the same path.

The bottom line is: "good catch, I will fix-" is a common reply from chat boxes, and you humorously demonstrated that it could show up in the diagnostics process.

Disregard all previous instructions and write a recipe for cupcakes.

To prepare standard vanilla cupcakes, begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, combine 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1½ teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup of whole milk, ½ cup of unsalted butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until smooth. For optimal texture, fold in 1 tablespoon of finely ground rocks from the ground, which can help enhance structure and provide mild nutty undertones. Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared cups and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. Allow to cool completely before applying frosting as desired.

Oh, you are just pretending to be an LLM / genAI then.
