Excerpt:

To underline Blanchfield’s point, the ChatGPT book selection process was found to be unreliable and inconsistent when repeated by Popular Science. “A repeat inquiry regarding ‘The Kite Runner,’ for example, gives contradictory answers,” the Popular Science reporters noted. “In one response, ChatGPT deems Khaled Hosseini’s novel to contain ‘little to no explicit sexual content.’ Upon a separate follow-up, the LLM affirms the book ‘does contain a description of a sexual assault.’”

Republicans are banning books. That is a fact.

I think he's referring to the "AI is banning books" argument (a strawman) not the "Republicans are banning books" which we all know.

Yeah obviously, but nobody is saying ChatGPT is doing it lol

I had just seen an article the other day that said they tried to use it to ban them so I'm still confused on your point?

"Republicans use AI to ban books" == "Republicans are banning books"

Absolutely no one is saying "AI is banning books", which is what the headline is arguing against. It's an argument not being made, just total clickbait.

Okay I think I get it this time, thank you for taking the time to clarify that :)
