The more ChatGPT is just a remembering of its content, the better it is. In this case it had clearly remembered just that API (obscure educational API) -- with weird parameter key dictionaries etc. that arent in anyway some Intelligent Generalisation (oh wow! everyone fund this!!11!) Insofar as it isn't just a regurgitation of "the better ebooks, blogs and docs", the worse it is. This is why, when prompting ChatGPT, i'm more often aiming to have it use examples (etc.) that have a high likelyhood of exact data in its training set. Consider eg., the prompt, "write tic-tac-toe in javascript using html and canvas" to "write duck hunt in javascript using html and canvas" The latter is extremely hard to get out of it, with many prompts -- the former, immediate and perfect. Why? because there's many examples of tic-tac-toe.
