It's not wild, it's literally every bit of fiction about "how would an AI keep itself alive" of course it's going to settle into that probabilistic path.

It's also nonsensical if you think for even one second about the way the program actually runs though.

That's A) not actually a lot B) not generally kept between sessions

B is not universally true, premium versions of chat agents keep data between sessions. A is only true in the case where B is true, which it is not.

Nonsense seems like a strong word for "not generally possible in like 75% of the cases that people use chat AI today"
