They introduce a factor of randomness, but are always steered by whatever was said before. If you ask people a random number between 1 and 100, they have been shown to have a strong bias towards random numbers, with 37 being an even more frequent answer. As LLMs have been trained on human data, I'm not too surprised they display a similar bias. 

I'd be happy to hear thoughts from someone who better knows how the randomness is introduced to possibly counter such obvious bias.

TLDR; lls can't do random which is surprising considering that they are inherently probabilistic and the "temperature" is the noise in that randomness
