Top Science Fiction Books of the 20th Century According to Chatgpt

I asked CahtGPT to give me a list of the top science fiction books of the 20th century and here is the response I got:
"Compiling a definitive list of the top 100 science fiction books of the 20th century can be quite subjective, as opinions may vary. However, here is a selection of some of the most influential and widely acclaimed science fiction novels from that era, in no particular order:"
followed by a list of 35 titles. Then this: "Please note that this list is not exhaustive and different readers and critics might have varying opinions on which books should be included. The selection above represents a mix of classic and more contemporary science fiction novels that have had a significant impact on the genre."
Not a bad list.
