Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life

I was a little disappointed to see that ChatGPT wasn't able to get the correct quote and who it was directed at more easily.

Nik:Please fix this for me: Steve Jobs said to whatshisname do you want to keep pedaling whatchamacallit or do you want to come with me and change the world?

ChatGPT:"Steve Jobs asked, 'Do you want to keep doing what you're doing or do you want to come with me and change the world?'"

Nik: Who did he ask?

ChatGPT: The name of the person Steve Jobs asked is not specified in the original question.

Nik: Please fix this for me: Steve Jobs said to what's his name do you want to keep pedaling sugar water or do you want to come with me and change the world?

ChatGPT: "Steve Jobs asked, 'Do you want to keep selling sugar water or do you want to come with me and change the world?'"

Nik: Who was 'what's his name'?

ChatGPT: The identity of "what's his name" is not specified in the original question.

Nik: It's pretty famous and well known.

ChatGPT: I apologize, but without more specific information, I cannot determine who Steve Jobs was referring to in the quote. The phrase "what's his name" is often used when the speaker can't remember a person's name, so it's unclear who Steve Jobs was addressing in the original statement.

Nik: There should be multiple sources for it. Who was peddling sugar water?

ChatGPT: The person Steve Jobs referred to as "peddling sugar water" is widely believed to be John Sculley, the former CEO of PepsiCo, who Jobs lured away from the beverage company to join Apple as its CEO in 1983. The quote is often used to illustrate Jobs's vision for Apple and his desire to create innovative products that would change the world, as opposed to simply selling a commodity like sugar water.

Nik: "Widely believed", doesn't sound as sure as I think. I feel like it is an immutable fact that he ask John Sculley that question.

ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion. Yes, you are correct, Steve Jobs did ask John Sculley the question "Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?" when trying to persuade Sculley to leave his job as CEO of PepsiCo and join Apple as its CEO. This is widely recognized and documented. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
