I don't so much focus on specific topics as meander randomly through the topical landscape, like a broken adaptive model that doesn't realize downhill isn't supposed to be an option.
I believe an early study suggested they were about the same

It won't prevent AI from hallucinating papers, but at least it won't be littering your profile with the hallucinations and/or later pulling those same hallucinations from your profile.

There is a way to block this in your Google Scholar profile: turn off the option to automatically add papers; instead it will email you whenever it wants to add anything and you have to approve/deny.

This has mostly been useful for other authors with similar names, but now with AI...

I suppose this might be a PC/console bias. Arkham Knight was playable on consoles but unplayable on PC, while Cyberpunk was unplayable on consoles but (more-or-less) playable on PC (I played C2077 on PC and didn't find most of the bugs too bad even from the start, beyond some clothing issues)

I enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 from the beginning, despite the bugs, and do understand why its reputation was so tarnished at the start, but it is always held up as the standard bearer for a disastrous release: does no one remember Batman: Arkham Knight? It was pulled from Steam it was so unplayable!

It should be noted that the majority of the >110* books (novellas or longer) I read in 2025 were not published this year, so I'm sure I have yet to read plenty of really good 2025 works that would have made this list (or would make it if I did a retrospective).

*How do I find time to read so much?🤷
