Look, I understand your point. I really do. But I feel that (perhaps due to one or more of your acknowledged biases) you're applying the wrong context to the situation at hand.
Namely: this is INTERCAL. There is no freaking standard. The "standard" is a 60-page text file written in 1973. The current compiler was written 90% based on this joke-filled document, and 9% new ideas because ESR came up with something even more ridiculous. (The remaining 1% was Don Woods responding to emailed questions by consulting his memory. He still has paper copies of the SPITBOL source code, but the original compiler hasn't been run in over 50 years.) There is no standard because at any given time there are at most three people on the planet who care one iota about INTERCAL standardization, and are only willing to put in any effort if it would be funny. So, for example, the question of what sort of randomness the double-oh-seven operator is contractually required to use is simply not a contextually relevant question.
You seem to be suggesting that it might be possible, even thinly so, that Chat-GPT somehow misapplied a strict standard of randomness in the formation of its response, instead of simply papering over a hole in its knowledge with a bit of improvised plausible-sounding guesswork, a well-documented behavior of both Chat-GPT and thinking entities worldwide. If not, then I humbly apologize for misunderstanding your point. Otherwise, I must politely agree to disagree.
And I'm sorry that my essay rubbed you the wrong way. Perhaps one day you will find it better than you do now, but if not then I hope it passes from your memory quickly.
