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.
