Reply to comment by cegras in [N] OpenAI may have benchmarked GPT-4’s coding ability on it’s own training data by Balance-

Oh I haven't tested this on textbooks, but I have asked chatGPT to give me pages of a novel and it did word for word. I suspect it had to have trained on PDFs? I'm highly surprised I haven't seen any news of authors/publishers suing yet tbh.

It is obvious when a book is a part of its training set or not though based on the above test.

Nobody knows exactly what it was trained on, but there exist several datasets of published books.

They still might. But they don't have a strong motivation; it doesn't really directly impact their revenue because nobody's going to sit in the chatgpt window and read a 300-page book one prompt at a time.

Current tech could be used to allow you to ask an AI assistant to read you a book.
