    Here is a fun experiment. Take a passage from a book that you know well, and ask ChatGPT about it.

    Hey ChatGPT, I remember a scene from The Wheel of Time where Rand al’Thor talks to Nynaeve about his battered soul. I would like to reread that passage, what book and chapter is that from?

    ChatGPT just bullshits the entire answer. Sometimes the name of the book and even author are inaccurate.

    My point is, asking ChatGPT to generate something from scratch is a good use of the technology, but asking for it to do any kind of reasoning is beyond what the technology is capable of, and a misuse of the platform.
