Then Perplexity directed me to Omari Douglas Nelson’s “The Heir of Wuthering Heights,” which does not exist. (Except in this version spun up for me by ChatGPT.)

Perplexity then insisted that Lily Tuck wrote, “Sanctuary: A Tale of Life and Death in Wuthering Heights.” (She did not, though ChatGPT was happy to create a book cover for me.)

Tonight, Perplexity insisted that Lily Tuck never wrote “Heathcliff Redux.” (There’s a copy right here on my desk.)
