One of their "books" is clearly AI-generated slop. I started to read
this
one:

but just about barfed at the obvious AI prose, the vagueness, the lack
of
humour and the sheer banality of it, not to mention the weird slogans
in
the pictures. "Open Source Thrives Together". Umm... WTF? What
does that even mean?
Yikes.
Hi Dianne,
Between this comment and some of the passages in "The Cathedral and the
Bazaar" example:
"I found having to periodically telnet over to locke to check my mail
annoying" - page 31
I have giggled, and my day has greatly improved.
I also want to take this opportunity to apologize for my slow responses.
I chalk this up to being a part of a certain development program, which
essentially filled my inbox with 80+ messages per day (many AI
generated) which not only made my inbox almost unusable, but also left a
sting. The Canadian Association for the Club of Rome assisted me in
fixing this.
