When given a novel nonsensical string, a language model may respond that it is meaningless or ask for clarification instead of behaving erratically.

“um that anyone can come up with um or they like fail gracefully like if i go if i go to pick your favorite language model.com i just bash the keyboard and then i press enter like i've probably constructed a string that no one has ever constructed before um the language model won't go haywire it'll say like why have you let your toddler at the computer or something or you i'm sorry i don't understand what you mean um”

“Can you rephrase it like that?”
