Despite this, the author remains uncertain about the quote's origin due to the known fact that ChatGPT can sometimes generate incorrect information. They propose three possible explanations: ChatGPT has data Google doesn't, the quote is in another language and ChatGPT is translating it, or both the author and ChatGPT are incorrectly attributing the quote. The author concludes by expressing their satisfaction with the progress made in finding the quote's origin, despite the remaining uncertainty.
Key takeaways:
- The author recalls a quote attributed to a French philosopher, possibly Voltaire, but fails to find any reference to it on Google.
- ChatGPT, an AI model, was able to provide information about the quote, suggesting it might have access to data that Google does not.
- The author explores possible explanations for this, including the idea that the quote might be in a different language, or that both he and ChatGPT are 'hallucinating' the same quote.
- Despite not finding a definitive answer, the author appreciates the progress made and encourages anyone with knowledge of the quote's origin to contact him.
