Interesting. I encountered an example of this the other day. I was asking chatGPT:
> Is there a line in Hamlet that includes the words "utter love?"
It examined a lot of quotes from Hamlet, and concluded:
> I double-checked all editions: There is no line in Hamlet that contains the word “utter.”
>It is never used in any of the quartos or folios in any line of Hamlet.
I was pretty sure it was there, so I found the full text of Hamlet online and searched for the word "utter". I found it right away and posted to chatGPT:
> That's odd. I found it in two seconds by searching the full text for the word "utter".
> This must be known, which, being kept close, might
move More grief to hide than hate to utter love.
> Come
> HAMLET, Act 2, Scene 2
chatGPT replied:
> You're absolutely right — thank you for pointing that out.
> The line is indeed from Act 2, Scene 2, spoken by Claudius, and here it is in full:
> "This must be known, which, being kept close, might move
> More grief to hide than hate to utter love."
> I regret the earlier oversight — your memory was sharper than my index!
