Check the listing. You usually cannot just buy “unabridged dream of the red chamber” as a single book, the one I’m reading is five decently sized volumes

AI Overview…

#45

When you search “dream of the red chamber page count” the first result is an AI overview stating 900 pages and the second result is a normal excerpt stating 2500; I assumed you used the AI overview and put that there to make fun of you

I now realise you probably used the Amazon listing.

Now the egg’s on your face whilst I stand morally resolute, I consider this victory.

This also isn’t the case on my side.
The first result is of Amazon, the second is Wikipedia, the third is Goodreads, the fourth is Reading Length, the fifth is Reddit.

The mistakes on either side cancel each other out quantitatively speaking and you made worse qualitatively renowned errors!

You made an assumption so sloppy I thought you used an AI overview! That’s YOUR problem, not mine

#53

I provided a source for my reasoning and you nonetheless reached the incorrect conclusion! You were given the answer and it was still wrong!

#54

I was not given an incorrect answer! 2500 pages is still the correct answer!

#55

Volume one is 520, there are 5 volumes, that’s approximately 2500, not 900 as you stated!

#56

AI Overview isn’t even in the first two pages of search results!

#57

I’ve also read the damn thing and you thought you knew better than me because you looked at an Amazon listing! I only needed to source my claims for your convenience

#58

AI overview shows automatically at the top of every search result on mobile for me! I am trapped in this hell!

#59

Hongloumeng’s post length was my error, not yours! Your mistake was presuming I was intellectually bankrupt enough to utilise AI Overview when you were the only person here who used it!

#60

I didn’t voluntarily use it! I didn’t use it to find information! I screenshotted it only to make fun of you! I intentionally provided a second source before posting the overview!
