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.
Catheros is a concept:
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 behaviour can be described as Catherotic.
Catheros is a made up word that ChatGPT created to beat a user in a simulated game of hangman.
Reddit user u/Agent641 went on to create the concept & above definition and posted it in the comments.

I asked the AI to play hangman and it decided to invent a word in order to win. I felt flush with catheros.

Example: ask the Al to recite the numbers 1 to 10. The Al recites "1,2,3,1 0". 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 didnt explicitly ask it to do so in base-10.
