Hey everyone, I've been wondering if ChatGPT can actually read through a whole book and give a good summary of it. Like, does it handle long texts well or is it better with shorter stuff? Would love to hear what you guys think or have tried!

Honestly, I think ChatGPT is great for getting the gist of chapters or articles but expecting it to read and perfectly summarize a whole book is a bit much for now.
I've tried using it to summarize chapters from a novel, and it did a decent job. But when I asked for a summary of the whole book, it kinda missed some key plot points.
