First, a moment about such lists.
There was a Top 100 Novels of the English Language pre Year 2000. The American Library Assoc or something selected it.
It was pretty damn good. A fine list.
And it came under immediate attack. Not for reasons of quality. For reasons of author diversity. There were some women on the “original list” and there were some minorities. But not many.
The defense was that the list was about quality, not agenda.
That defense was rejected and amended lists were released by other orgs.
I do with ChatGPT were used for more solid purposes. Like how many nuclear explosions have occurred on Earth. Or how many fatal ferry boat accidents have there been? Questions with factual answers.
Actually, this is Chat GPT surveilling college reading lists for History degrees, it is more objective than an opinion.
