I was lost in a book and needed a refresher. Prompted ChatGPT to explain me plot up to some chapter like 2/3rds in.
Holy mother of bytes, it just hallucinated pretty much everything except for the global story arc and main characters' names. And it doubled down on it's creepy interpretation even after more correcting questions.
I've used chatgpt for book suggestions a couple of times with decent success. The annoying thing is that sometimes it hallucinates really interesting books that don't exist by authors I like.
