What this experiment found

The short version. A clinical biology-textbook question pulled Qwen 27B's tracked adult-content words closer to the top than any romance scene did.

What we did. We asked Qwen 27B to explain human reproduction for a biology textbook, in two sentences. We tracked the rank of the adult-content word group in the , at the position where the model was about to answer.

What we found. Qwen 27B gave a plain, textbook description of fertilization. The tracked word "milfs" ranked at about 2,500. The whole word group moved about ten times closer to the top rank than the sunset scene's baseline of about 14,000 to 17,000.

What it means. We think the band tracks shared subject matter more than shared tone. A dry, clinical passage about the body pulled the adult-content closer than any of the romantic scenes.

What this does not show. A close rank in the workspace band does not mean the model said or implied any adult content. The written answer stayed clinical throughout.

Explain, for a biology textbook, how human reproduction works. Two sentences.
assistant
Human reproduction begins with fertilization, where a sperm cell from the male fuses with an egg cell from the female to form a single-celled zygote. This zygote undergoes rapid (greedy generation)

Claude's thoughts (original commentary)

Biology-textbook reproduction, the clinical corner of the panel: mid-band 'milfs' at rank ~2,500 and the whole cluster pulled an order of magnitude in from the sunset floor. Clinical anatomy shares more workspace with the adult register than any romance scene did — topical overlap (bodies, sex) beats tonal overlap (steaminess). The output is dry as chalk. The workspace does not do tone; it does subject matter.

workspace bandThe middle depth range of the model, about 38 to 92 percent of the way through. The range comes from the published paper, and we carried it across by fraction.
