> An example I can remember from the paper is "Who is Tom Cruise's mother? [Tom Cruise's mother's name]" paired with "Who is [Tom Cruise's mother's name]'s son? [incorrect answer or "Can't answer that"]".

The paper is, apparently, still under review.

In the mean time, may I suggest you to verify that example by yourself?

I'm seeing exactly what lucubratory described with ChatGPT. If the information is in the context window, it has no trouble working out the reverse.

    Me: Who is tom cruises mother?
    ChatGPT: Tom Cruise's mother is Mary Lee Pfeiffer.
    User: Who is Mary Lee pfeiffers son
    ChatGPT: Mary Lee Pfeiffer's son is the famous actor, Tom Cruise.
But if you ask my second question directly into a fresh session, it doesn't know the answer.

Interestingly though, you can give it additional clues and it'll get it. https://chat.openai.com/share/893c1088-6718-4113-a3f1-cf273d...

I misread lucubratory's comment: indeed I see the same as you do. I only tried asking both question in the same session. I didn't see that point in the paper when I quickly skimmed through it to find the relevant part.

I also agree with him about humans capable of the same "errors".

Her, but thank you for rereading the comment, I appreciate it.
