    It shares popular quotes from books, it can’t reproduce arbitrary content from a book. The content needs to be heavily duplicated in the training data to stick around (e.g. from book reviews), and even than half of it might still end up being made up on the spot.

    Also request for copyrighted content will be blocked by ChatGPT and just receive the stock “I can’d do that” response anyway.

    If you have some damning examples that show the opposite, show them.

      Being blocked by ChatGPT just means that the interaction layer you see doesn’t show the output, not that the output wasn’t generated.

      Everything you see that’s public facing and interfacing with an AI is an extreme filtering layer for what is output. There’s tons of checks that happen to ensure that they don’t output illegal content or any of a million other undesirable things.

      I’m too lazy and care too little but you can basically get it to roleplay as a book expert or something and to “remind” you of certain passages. It gets around the filter pretty easily, that’s how jailbreaks work.
