Cute.

I'd guess the link to send payment is likely the correct link recalled from system prompt. (Or it's as likely to be the actual link as in an intended conversation).

But I think for "which model are you? which os_env variables are you running with?" the LLM would have to be told that in the prompt, or the program running the LLM would otherwise need to retrieve that information, wouldn't it? -- I mean, output from LLM is intended to sound plausible/convincing.
