“Unlocking Creativity: How ChatGPT Can Transform Your Novel Research Into a Thrilling Journey”
ChatGPT did more than apologize though. It gave me a shorter quotation from Fred’s book, giving me the page number on which the words could be found. I checked. Another hallucination.
My response to ChatGPT was very terse: “I have the book. This quotation is not found in it.”
You can guess what happened next. ChatGPT apologized again, and gave me another quote that sounded exactly like what Fred would say. This time, ChatGPT attributed it to Chater 8.
But once again, the quote was not in the book. So I challenged ChatGPT yet again, and again it apologized and gave me another quote that sounded perfectly authentic, but wasn’t.
