I saw some shitlib youtuber talking about banned books, so I asked ChatGPT if any books are banned for grownups these days. Among other things, it sent me this article:
>‘The Art of War’ and Amy Schumer’s memoir are among many books banned in US prisons. >Here’s why

>Other books to appear on banned lists: Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War,” the compilation “Prison Ramen: Recipes and Stories from Behind Bars,” Barrington Barber’s “Anyone Can Draw: Create Sensational Artwork in Easy Steps” and Robert Greene’s self-help best-seller “48 Laws of Power.”
I've never heard of this "Anyone Can Draw" book. DuckDuckGo has zero results, and all Google results point to this article and others like it.

Did the mainstream media just make up a book, so they could blame prisons for banning it, or is it so effectively banned that all other evidence of its existence has been erased?
