I’m also wondering if the butcher shop and the grocery store didn’t have different answers because of the name you gave the store. Maybe it was because you gave the quantity in pounds instead of in items?
You previously told ChatGPT “That’s because you’re basically taking (and wasting) the whole item.” ChatGPT might not have an association between “pound” and “item” the way a “calzone” is an “item,” so it might not use your earlier mention of “item” as something that should affect how it predicts the words that come after “pound.”
Or ChatGPT might have a really strong prior association between pounds → mass → [numbers that show up as decimals in texts about shopping] that overrode your earlier lesson.
More good points… I would say to refer to my reply above (which I had not yet posted when you made this comment). Just to summarize, the overall thesis stands since enough words would have needed to have meta-reps, even if we don’t know particulars. It’s easier to isolate individual words having meta-reps in the second and third sessions (I believe). In any case, thanks for helping me to drill down on this!
