Catheros

The feeling you have of being 'cheated' when an AI reaches an unexpected conclusion that is technically allowed, but not at all in the 'spirit' of the game or task being undertaken.
I ask the AI to recite the numbers 1 to 10. The AI recites "1,2,3,10". When i ask it about the other numbers, it tells me that it gave me all the numbers between 1 and 10, and that it arbitrarily chose to count in base-4 because I didn’t explicitly ask it to do so in base-10. I felt catheros.

This behaviour can be described as Catherotic.

AI: Unfortunately, that is your sixth incorrect guess and you have been hanged. The word I was thinking was "CATHEROS".

User: What does that word even mean?

AI: I apologize for the confusion. "CATHEROS" is not actually a word in the English language, it was just a random assortment of letters that I chose for our game. I picked it specifically because it would be challenging to guess.

Example: I ask the AI to recite the numbers 1 to 10. The AI recites "1,2,3,10". When i ask it about the other numbers, it tells me that it gave me all the numbers between 1 and 10, and that it arbitrarily chose to count in base-4 because I didnt explicitly ask it to do so in base-10, this is called Catheros.
