Another example. I have asked grok  a few times variations on a question and gotten different answers.
I was told that there were 100M books in Ukraine in the Ukrainian language and RU had destroyed 1000 libraries and 200M of the 100M books.

I asked again and asked for a detailed answer. Here is a edited down answer. The answer has much speculation as Grok tries to explain the huge totals from the Ukr govt. Jump to the conclusion.

QuoteAbout how many books in the ukrainian language existed in Ukraine around 2010? How many have the Russians destroyed?

Official Ukrainian sources, such as the State Language Protection Commissioner Taras Kremin, claim over 200 million Ukrainian books have been lost since the full-scale invasion started, with nearly a thousand libraries destroyed or damaged

. However, "lost" likely includes books that are inaccessible due to occupation, not just physically destroyed, which complicates the figure. Other estimates suggest hundreds of thousands to a few million books physically destroyed, based on reports of systematic looting and burning.

Conclusion
Around 2010, research suggests 20–50 million Ukrainian-language book copies existed in Ukraine, based on publishing recovery and library holdings. Since 2014, and particularly since 2022, Russian forces have likely destroyed millions of these books, with estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to a few million physically destroyed, though official claims of over 200 million lost likely include inaccessible books, adding complexity to the figures.
