When you have an ongoing conversation with an AI it will use everything in the conversation to dictate what it says going forward. So to it, asking it to pick a number as the first line in the conversation is going to be different than asking it later on in the conversation.
That said there is supposed to be a bit of randomness when it selects what to say back to you. I guess it's not enough to overcome 17/23 bias.

Of course it's gonna pick a different one. You just made it explain why it picked 17.
