Do you frequently experience something like,
- "Hey, you've read Book X, right? I was thinking of getting it. Is it any good?"
- "I don't really remember. It's been a long time since I read it..."
- "Really? When?"
- "6 hours ago."

Nope
I tend to recall a fair amount about each book I read. Overall my retention level has remained pretty stable over the years, even though I now read more than I used to.
An important thing here is that most of what I'm reading is fiction. Non-Fiction reading speeds are slower for me, and I tend to recall more of the non-fiction works than fiction ones.

I never claimed to be human...

No. I spent large amounts of time studying and reviewing material.
