It's probably because you were talking about a quote from a book (ie copyrighted material). Authors have sued the AI companies for repeating / memorizing copyrighted works, and getting an AI to discuss a quote would be making it repeat a portion of copyrighted work.
Funny that your case is Kurt Vonnegut. I think I had Claude refuse a task where I was doing an OCR scan of a book review (in a zine / journal a family member published years ago). I think the review might have included a Vonnegut quote as well, and that I ultimately figured it out it was the quote that was making Claude refuse. I may be misremembering the author though.
Mistral had no such refusals, but their OCR is lesser quality.

- SyneRyder 5mo agoOMG. Where did I get Kurt Vonnegut from? I swear I saw that name in the post and the whole time I was thinking "but he didn't write Catch 22"... I must be fuzzier brained than I thought tonight. Thank you for being kind with your correction. Hopefully I'm still correct that quoting from books is a reason for some over-zealous task refusals, though.
