You would not believe how bad publisher data is. I run a book website, and Dune is often tagged nonfiction in the data we get from publishers. I don't think they know how to use the BISAC system the industry uses (https://bisg.org/page/BISACEdition). With Dune, they were marking it "AI," which is a nonfiction-only category.

Just one small example...

Plus Dune, somewhat famously, doesn't have any AI in it.
The prequel books (if any such books exist), feature AI in order to showcase why the original does not.
