^ incredibly trippy text that devolves into strangely formatted comma separated text that almost resembles some code / amateur cryptography with multiple languages/alphabets

It's unfortunate that Open AI seems to be deleting these from user's histories, they are really fascinating as almost a "peek under the hood" into what crappy outputs and failure modes can look like. Some of the fake words / invented language really passes as stuff that you'd believe were real English words if you googled them, but when you do they have no definition or search results, which is trippy.
The one that has the cryptographic looking / symbolic looking messaging is really spooky, I could see someone suffering from delusions/mental illness believing there was some deeper meaning to the text and really going to bad places. Honestly makes me think we might have real problems in the future with people reading into gibberish as if its mystical/prophetic. People already use Tarot or Astrology similarly and its not nearly as neat.
