>if you ask LLM to sample a random number from 1 to 10, it will likely give you 3 or 7, as those are overrepresented in the training data.

I just tried this on GPT-4 ("give me 100 random numbers from 1 to 10") and it gave me exactly 10 of each number 1-10, but in no particular order. Heh

I think the way you phrase it is important. If you want to test what he said you should try and create 100 independent prompts in which you ask for a number between 1 and 10.
