I plugged in 5 books I've recently enjoyed and asked ChatGPT for some recommendations of similar books, and 2 out of 10 of the books it suggested did not exist. I googled the author, the book title, they were complete fakes. They sounded like they'd be good books though! When I told it they didn't exist it was like, "you're right, thank you for catching that!"


It would have replied the same if you claimed of existing books that they don't exist :)
