@shiri @arstechnica no (publicly available) OpenAI GPT model has the context to read an entire book (max is GPT-4 32k, which isn't enough for a book). There are summarization tricks but that's not the same thing and requires additional specialized software like LangChain. Further, according to the source article which you didn't read:

> Then she typed: "Does [book] describe a sex act?" plugging in a book title, and waited for the answer.

@arstechnica they're aware ChatGPT hasn't read the books either, right? They might as well use a magic 8 ball.
