I've started reading "Service Model" by #AdrianTchaikovsky . (Robots!)
Anyhow, you can tell it is pre-LLM sci-fi because the bot sees a sign "Abandon all hope all who E" and the bot spends a paragraph wondering what E means. And I'm like, bots can do that! They are really, really good at that!
Excellent book so far.

This is a wonderful book, but it is 1/2 social commentary-satire, so not #AdrianTchaikovsky #ChildrenofTime masterpiece quality.
The flippant summary is #Kryten unwillingly saves the world from robot revolt.
The book is amalgam of every good #scifi trope you've ever seen before. His view of how AI works was influenced by #YouLookLikeAThingAndILoveYou and despite this appears to be unaware with how LLMs work. This novel is a world where LLMs never happened.
