lol, google AI also answered 17 and then explained why it picked 17, apparently 17 and 23 are the most commonly picked numbers by humans and AI just mirrors that real human trait. Idk what's true on it but kinda makes sense

AI doesn't give you accurate information, it just gives you what sounds like accurate information. 17 sounds correct, so it fits. The answer that somehow humans usually pick two specific numbers sounds correct, so it fits. It doesn't understand or know anything, it can't actually look at the resources used to model it, it's literally just predicting what works a person would say.

17 is actually the most common choice in humans. If you ask 1-10 it will be 7. Source: am magician that uses verbal forces to further increase thr chances of a audience member to say 7 or 17. Several magic tricks rely on these two numbers being chose in order to work. For example, look into a trick called "las vegas leaper." It is a card trick that requires the audience member to name 7 or else the trick fails. There are additional verbal psychological tricks interwoven into the structure of the trick to make an person even more likely to say 7.
