It annoys me when people slag off AI because some lazy writer didn't use it properly.
Nobody needs 15 recommendations. You'd be lucky if someone looked up one. 15 is filler; nobody has 15 books worth of opinion on the prospective literary qualities of summer 2025 AD. An absolute minority would have read all 15 were they real. The piece did its job well enough to get published, make the author $35, and make me feel vaguely 'summer beach book escapism' from reading the descriptions, which is the point of the piece anyway.
So your position is that not only should we not expect it to be capable of factually recommending fifteen books, but also that it doesn't matter if it's even capable of such a middling feat, because you've arbitrarily decided no one should need to ask it that particular thing anyhow?
