It's one thing if mankind is hunted to extinction by ChatGPT, but I really do object to being executed by Bing.

("And you fled from him" -- fled from him, and stayed fled for 12 years. If she'd thought that the good times made the bad times worth it, she had 12 years to go back to him. She didn't!

This is probably a stupid thing to get hung up on, given the much bigger flaws in this thing, but I just really hate it when a book makes some declaration as though it's a fact about the world of the book, while everything that is happening in the book is actively contradicting it. It's something you always see in the worst of YA.)

Fantasy examples of the kind of thing I mean:

"jimbob is the kindest person you could ever meet."

*on multiple occasions, Jimbob is depicted viciously bullying someone vulnerable*

"Maisie is my best friend. I tell her everything."

*character and Maisie exchange only small talk over the course of the story*

"I bring my dog everywhere."

*The dog does not come on the adventure*

etc. Like people are just copying their very first planning notes straight into the final work and publishing them.
