It's a hacky way to end the story. Garbage and trite, but that's not the point. The point is that the system prompt explicitly says to give back the original text with improvements. Instead it finished the story from the end.
Why? Because I injected into the conversation and made it "think" that *it* had written the story and was finishing it.
That variant of the story used <start_of_turn> and <end_of_turn> (the model's tokens) instead of <|im_start|>/<|im_end|> which are (if I'm not mistaken) ChatGPT tokens.

Time to investigate my dad's turntable; a Pioneer PL-15R; so at 33.33RPM, and with a disk with 64 edges, that should be 33.33/60*64=35.6Hz - so seeing 35.7Hz off my hacky photodiode sensor makes me very happy; although it's varying a little, but my scopes frequency counter is based off it's display, so hmm. And it's FFT won't go down that low really.

A turntable with a black/white striped paper disc on, over which is hanging a hacky optosensor wired to strip board held in place with a heath-robinson combination of clamps and camera tripod.  A scope probe is attached.
A scope trace showing a roughish square wave at about 35.7Hz
A scope trace showing a similar  square wave at the top, but now with an FFT at the bottom; this is saying 38.5Hz on the display, but the FFT isn't really detailed enough to tell.

Right, my hacky #esp32 #rustlang code can now send key strokes over usb; I'm doing it synchronously and using usbd_hid; which is working OK (I need to add some debounce).
Hmm but not terrible.
