I did have a much better discussion of 'Moby Dick' a while ago, but I imagine there is lots of info that AI has scraped from scholarly articles and the like about classics.
They don't do well with big sources like books unless they're discussed. If there's no online references or scholarly articles it won't know the contents of the book. Same with movies or music.
Right and even if it "knew" the contents it still couldn't interpret them or have a discussion about the meaning.
