I didn't upload the book in this case. I could tell from the links that ChatGPT was using as references that it did have access to the full text through a website that had the text of the book, perhaps not legally.

It appeared it had access to the entire book - it linked me to a website that somehow had the text. I was able to coax better responses out of it when I corrected its mistakes about plot etc.

That's a funny way to test it with a fake movie!

Ha ha. I'm experimenting with the technology.

It felt like a good reminder to me

What is the "boll"

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.

 

I was recently reading Ben Aaronvitch’s ‘Rivers of London’ and I was struggling to follow the plot. So I engaged in discussions with both ChatGPT and Gemini and both really struggled to not make lots of mistakes. Both AIs would regularly give inaccurate info about major plot points, and when I questioned them about those issues, they would apologize profusely and then try to continue on. I basically had to coach them through to get them to remember important points of the plot! They also struggled to not reveal spoilers past a certain chapter. It was interesting to see the AIs repeatedly fail.

The plot wanders around in a disorienting way. Characters who we were very focused on at one moment are all of a sudden dropped from the narrative in a hard-to-believe way. A lot of people apparently like it, but I’m stopping after the first book.

Struggling to understand Ben Aaronvitch’s Rivers of London. Recently read and like John Williams’ Stoner.
