trulyunruly··on Scientists simulate backward time travel using quantum entanglement
I agree. I usually don’t respond with generated text. But in this instance I wanted to try to see if GPT-4 could sniff out the book that was being searched for. As of the dangers in GPT responses, it is easy to be mislead. I vetted the response (existence of author, books), but not in depth of what was actually asked for. And for that reason I failed to catch the error that you pointed out. But thank you for doing so, will definitely be more critical to GPT responses in the future. And also not post generated content that is clearly wrong.

Cunningham's Law:) I was only hoping to provide some direction. But thank you for finding the right answer.

”The book you're remembering is likely "Mr. Tompkins" by George Gamow. The series features the character Mr. Tompkins, but in "Mr. Tompkins in Paperback" (which combines "Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland" and "Mr. Tompkins Explores the Atom"), he has a daughter named Gedanken. The stories are known for their accessible exploration of advanced scientific concepts, including those related to Einstein's theories, through fantastical adventures.” - GPT-4
