That is a good point. I asked ChatGPT "What was the book with the guy stuck on Venus or wherever who had to grow food in poop?". ChatGPT replied "The book you're referring to is likely "The Martian" by Andy Weir." which makes me feel like it understood me even though I deliberately got the planet wrong and was vague about the rest. A human who knows the story would likely get it right because one of the most grossly memorable scenes is him growing potatoes using poop for fertiliser.
To the same prompt, Google's top result was a Wikipedia page for a Ray Bradbury book, and told me the result was "missing poop". It's always frustrating that Google ignores words I typed in, and here it's one of the key words in the query. Yes, ChatGPT makes me feel like I'm talking to a helpful assistant and Google, Bing, Siri, Cortana, OK Google, Alexa, don't.
(I think Google used to feel like that, years ago when its results were good?)
