TF you ask if I’m a bot for? I didn’t try to sell you the New ™️ Gemini ©️AI Patriot’s Library ®️.

Yeah, I over-wote a response. Try this: The librarian now hands you the print books it wants you to see becaue it gets a better ad fee for that one, lets you view them online with more ads, doesn’t tell you about well-reviewed books taking a contrary view or even objectively disproving your question, etc. and you still need to subscribe, provide adult ID, and end up having a digital profile with the service.

    Sounds like average doctor in the USA, isn't it? And it wouldn't be too far-fetched for a librarian to prefer some books over the others.

    If I looked for "well-reviewed books" I probably wouldn't ask a librarian or generally a single fallible person, rather I would look for a repository of reviews for books.
