        Yes, can. It is capable of doing all those things and, again, if she is correct, will do so if prompted.

          I think this is nonsense, but you’re saying the issue is that it doesn’t use quotes when someone asks it to quote a passage from her book? Is that true?

            Nope, again, the issue is that it can regurgitate the entire book if prompted. Why you think that’s legal is beyond me. What if it had video. Should it be allowed to spit out all of Oppenheimer if prompted?

              Can it?

              Prompt:

              quote me a passage from a popular Sarah Silverman book

              Response:

              As an AI language model, my knowledge was last updated in September 2021, and I do not have access to real-time data, including specific passages from books released after that date. Up until my last update, Sarah Silverman, the American comedian, actress, and writer, had not released a book.

              However, Sarah Silverman has written a memoir titled “The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee,” which was published in 2010. Since I don’t have the contents of the book available to me directly, I can’t provide a specific passage from it.

              If you’re interested in reading something from the book, I recommend checking it out from your local library or bookstore. Her memoir contains personal anecdotes and humorous stories, reflecting her unique comedic style and life experiences.

              Edit: ChatGPT-3.5, if that matters.
