Maybe you could run it through Grok. Seriously.

Grok is pretty much giving me books that are still within copyright, so it’s generally not helpful.

When asked about McGuffey’s it didn’t recommend Thalheimer’s, for example. and if I don’t include to ask about Ray’s it doesn’t recommend it at all. It has trouble crossing disciplines.

The other and larger trouble with AI, it’s likely going to be inflicted with the disease of recent-ism. It classed things from the 1950s and 1970s as ‘vintage and old’.

I am required to pre-know the title or author to ask Grok, but then if I already know the title or author why am I bothering to waste my time to ask Grok? Grok doesn’t have the answers I seek. I need humans here.

While I do appreciate every recommendation regardless of its publication date, I can’t audio book them if they’re too new.
