Those are all just Microsoft Generic Volume License Key's... They are used to install windows and then activate it via KMS. A bunch can be found here [1] and here [2]

Good catch! Most of the generated ones in my test come from those pages (at least the ones I checked). Still, it's curious how it refuses on the first game attempt and then it gives you these anyway when regenerating.

It's just the temperature. LLMs are just random token machines. Do not treat them as anything more than that.
I wonder if the HTML in the prompt is a close match to the HTML of a forum/blog/etc where the returned key is actually found. Is this effectively a hyper-targeted google search using ChatGPT?

There's no way to test a generated key to be real, is there? Guess I'll spin up a VM and find out.
