Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments How can I delete this.. thing?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
There is no book, amazon link doesn't work, ASIN isn't found, no shelvings.
I'm a librarian, but I cannot change the status to deleted on invalid (error - Description may only include links to other pages on Goodreads). Description Source is amazon_catalog.

Olga Silvertongue (olgasilvertongue) | 6723 comments Done! I deleted it. I just needed to change a description. It was automatically imported invalid non-book.

Tawnya | 4030 comments And what did the bots use for their reasoning?
I understand the notebooks and journals because at least the word "book" or "paper" appears somewhere in the description.
I had dog collars (not for dogs btw) the other day.
If the AI everyone is worried about is anything like Amazon's then I think we are safe.

You need to ask staff, librarians do not program the bots.
