Not The DaVinci Code, but I recently tried reading "OCaml Programming: Correct + Efficient + Beautiful" through Gemini. The book is open, so I rightly assumed it was "in there". I read by saying "Give me the first paragraph of Chapter 6" and then something like "Next 3 paragraphs". If I had a question, I was able to ask it and get some more info and have something like a dialog.

As far as I could tell, the book didn't match what's posted online today. The text was somewhat consistent on a topic, yet poorly written and made references to sections that I don't think existed. No amount of prompting could locate them. I'm not convinced the material presented to me was actually the book, although it seemed consistent with the topic of the chapter.

I tried to ascertain when the book had been scraped, yet couldn't find a match in Archive.org or in the book's git repo.

Eventually I gave up and just continued reading the PDF.
