ChatGPT:

There are many books available that can help you learn basic electrical concepts and engineering. Here are a few suggestions:

    "Electricity Demystified" by Stan Gibilisco
    "Electrical Engineering 101" by Darren Ashby
    "The Basics of Electricity" by Van Valkenburgh, Nooger & Neville, Inc.
    "Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications" by Allan R. Hambley
    "Getting Started in Electronics" by Forrest M. Mims III

These books are designed to provide a general introduction to electrical concepts and engineering, and can help you to understand the basics of electricity and how it is used in various applications. They may also include examples, diagrams, and practical exercises to help you learn and apply the concepts in a hands-on way. I encourage you to read reviews and compare the content and approach of different books to determine which one is the best fit for your learning style and goals.

About as useful as a google search.

So either the google search is very good or the AI is not adding any value compared to a „dumb search“?

Which one is it?

[Jtsummers]

I'd say it's not adding any value compared to a "dumb search". Most of those books turned up directly in the google results for things like "basic electronics book" or "beginner electronics books" and so on, or in the listicles that populate the first page of those kinds of results.
