Somewhere around the initial ChatGPT release, I was experimenting with having the model draw various types of ASCII art. I believe the first time I ran into a doom loop might have been when I asked it to draw a giraffe; it started with a head, then a line of | | for the neck, and then it just repeated that, ad infinitum. I am not really sure what the cause was, but clearly it wanted to make a long-ish neck, and ran out of a way to determine how many lines it had already produced, so just kept going.
