> I can’t seem to find anything more than a highly generic snippet of code or a coerced continuation.

You’re disqualifying any example that people may provide preemptively. No wonder you’ve missed them.

No, I’m disqualifying those two cases.

By “forced continuation” I mean the type of example that was popular for a while where someone would feed a lot of text into LLMs and then ask it to continue the text, then be surprised when it some times predicted the next tokens identical to the original example.

Do this enough times and you can find “examples” that prove your point, but it’s highly automatable so people were using it like a million monkeys at a million typewriters.
