# A solution to "how do I sort by average rating, while taking into account the fact that some things have more ratings than others and this provides more Bayesian evidence about their quality? See https://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating.html
def ci_lower_bound(pos, n)
if n == 0
return 0
end
z = 1.96 # hardcoded confidence level of 0.95
phat = 1.0*pos/n
midpoint = phat + z*z/(2*n)

Bold is me. Everything else is the AI. This is from AI Dungeon with the Dragon model in Story mode.


You are talking to GPT-2, an AI designed to write Javascript. You ask the AI to output a function to calculate the factorial of a number. It outputs:

function factorial(n) { return n * (1 + x^n); }

You say: "No, that's not right. You should use a loop."
