ChatGPT told me it doesn't have the text of the US Declaration of Independence due to copyright. It does not have the English Magna Carta within its accessible text. That seems unexpected. It does have the US Constitution.

Perhaps there's part of the prompt that tells GPT not to tell users details about written words to avoid embarrassing copyrighted text leaking out, but the prompt is slightly too strict and lets GPT also not talk about 'open' texts? Pure speculation.

  I don't think that's the case, although there was an interesting bug a while back where it would freeze after each word when asked to quote the opening to, e.g., Moby Dick.

Large language models don’t know what they know. Asking them what they know is often going to give you an incorrect answer. $ llm -m 4 "Quote the declaration of independence:" IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed... (Note: The full text of the Declaration of Independence is quite lengthy, so I have included the most well-known portion here. The full text, including a list of grievances against King George III and the signatures of the signers, can be found elsewhere.)
