37 is well represented. Proof that we’ve taught AI some of our own weird biases.

What’s special about 37? Just that it’s prime or is there a superstition or pop culture reference I don’t know?

If you discount the pop-culture numbers (for us 7, 42, and 69) its the number most often chosen by people if you ask them for a random number between 1 and 100. It just seems the most random one to choose for a lot of people. Veritasium just did a video about it.

Is there some human sciences theory as to why?

I didn’t know either, but it seems to be an often picked ‘random’ number by people. Here is an article about it, I didn’t read it though.
