The amazing thing about these observations is that you genuinely don't need technical expertise to observe them. You don't need to know about tokenization or representations or anything (though that also matters). Just that '2' is the most common answer in the corpus.
Thanks to @bayesianboy.bsky.social, Anya and everyone at Princeton Natural & Artificial Minds for the invitation!
AI overview out there still reminding us of most frequent class baselines.
I remember the not-so-distant days when everyone was aware of "2" bias in answers to "how many" questions (Agarwal et Al 2017 et subseq). I keep thinking maybe it's time to revisit these things.
I had a fantastic time at the 2026 Harrington Symposium this week at UT Austin. It was wonderful to be able to dig into more science of AI with brilliant researchers across many specialties and viewpoints! Many things to think about!
