To be clear this is what I did—I downloaded the PDF from the link Adria posted and copy pasted your prompt into both ChatGPT-5.1-Thinking and codex . I was just too lazy to check if these quotes are real
I don’t have a better way of checking whether those quotes are real than to do my own OCR for the PDF, and I don’t currently have one handy. They seem plausibly real to me, but you know, that’s kind of the issue :P

Ah, cool, sorry that I misunderstood!

On Chrome on a Mac you can just C-f in the PDF, it just OCRs automatically. I didn’t have this problem.
You’re right :) there is an “uncanny valley” right now and I hope we will exit it soon
