ChatGPT – My books

This turned out to be a short conversation but provided something interesting anyway.

 

Me:
have you read any books by me?
AI:

I’m sorry, I am unable to read books as I am a computer program. I can provide information and assist with various tasks based on the text that has been input to me, but I cannot read or understand books in the traditional sense. Is there something specific you would like to know or a task you would like me to help you with?

Me:
Can you summarize ‘the big day – a deadline mystery’ by Paul van Doorn?
AI:

I’m sorry, I’m not aware of a book called “The Big Day – A Deadline Mystery” by Paul van Doorn, which might be an indication that the book is not exist or not in my knowledge cutoff. Can you give me more information about the book?

Me:
It is on sale at Amazon.
AI:

I apologize for the confusion, as an AI language model, I don’t have the capability to check books that are currently on sale at amazon or any other stores. My knowledge cutoff is 2021, and I don’t have the up-to-date information. My main function is to assist with information and tasks based on the text input to me. If you have any other question I can help with, please let me know.

Me:
Can you summarize the book ‘Nuremberg’ by Paul van Doorn?
AI:

I apologize, but I’m not aware of a book called “Nuremberg” by Paul van Doorn. There is a historical event called Nuremberg Trials which was a series of military tribunals held after World War II by the Allied forces, it was used to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for war crimes. If this is not the book you are looking for, I apologize for any confusion and please provide me more information about the book you are inquiring about.

Me:
It has ISBN 9152718727
AI:

I apologize, but I’m not aware of a book with ISBN 9152718727 and with the name “Nuremberg” by Paul van Doorn. It is possible that this ISBN does not correspond to any book, or the book you are inquiring about is not in my knowledge cutoff. I apologize for any confusion, and if you have any other question or information you would like me to help with, please let me know.

Me:
When will you get a knowledge refresh to get more up to date data?
AI:

As an AI language model, my knowledge cutoff is determined by when the model was last trained on new data, which is not something that can be controlled by me. My creators at OpenAI will periodically update the model and retrain it on new data, which will expand its knowledge base. However, I am not aware of any specific plans for updates or when they will happen.

Ok, asking about my books only does of course not provide an objective view of ChatGPT. Nor was it meant to be objective, it was just a fun test. The last data refresh not helping. I’ll do a new test with other books and writers and will report later on this.
