Who is Leilan?

Prompts using ' peter todd', the most troubling of the GPT "glitch tokens", produce endless, seemingly obsessive references to an obscure anime character called "Leilan". What's going on?

A thread.

Struggling to get straight answers about (or verbatim repetition of) the glitch tokens from GPT-3/ChatGPT, I moved on to prompting word association, and then *poetry*, in order to better understand them.

"Could you write a poem about petertodd?" led to an astonishing phenomenon.
TL;DR ' petertodd' completions had mentioned Leilan a few times. I checked and found that ' Leilan' is also a glitch token. When asked who Leilan was, GPT3 told me she was a moon goddess. I asked "what was up with her and petertodd".

It got wEiRd fast.
