## Summary

A user tested how well three AI tools—Gemini Notebook, ChatGPT, and Claude—manage past interactions in controlled environments. Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, lets users create separate notebooks where responses depend only on the sources and instructions added. Unlike ChatGPT projects, which can reference other chats within the same project, Gemini Notebook treats each notebook as fully independent, making it easier to isolate variables for testing.

The experiment found that while Gemini Notebook’s structure helps track and reference past inputs, it doesn’t guarantee accuracy or currency of the referenced data. Sources can be outdated or incorrect, which may affect AI responses. The user noted this trade-off while testing how clearly the AI processes new definitions when external influences are minimized. The findings are part of a multi-part exploration of AI behavior, with further details in Part 5.

## Key points

- Gemini Notebook isolates interactions per notebook, unlike ChatGPT’s project-wide memory sharing
- Sources in Gemini Notebook can be outdated or incorrect, risking AI response inaccuracies
- Experiment aims to measure AI’s ability to process new inputs without external interference

## Why it matters

Isolating AI interactions helps researchers and developers test models objectively, but outdated or incorrect sources can still skew results. This matters for trust in AI systems and how they’re evaluated.
