    Ask ChatGPT to summarize Sarah Silverman’s book. Ask it to give you a few quotes from it.

    How else would it be able to do that unless it had been trained using the book as an input.

      Hmm. That’s a fair point. Lol.

      I suppose it’s possible that it was trained on articles and such that quote/summarize the book. But what you’re saying makes sense.

        ChatGPT could have read 1000 other summaries of the book, it doesn’t have to read the actual book to make a summary. It can just rewrite don’t out the old ones.
