About halfway through, I realized this book was written entirely in ChatGPT. Each short chapter is the same length as the maximum output from a ChatGPT prompt. The "author" never speaks in first person, even in the preface. Each chapter is just a recitation of facts in the most generic, "balanced" prose where it's obviously not trying to make any particular argument. Add to that that it's a Virtual Voice narrator (which I have no problem with on its own), and even the cover is just a stock photo with a filter on it. What you get is an offensive, entirely artificial money grab from the "author". It's offensive that this is even for sale. The book contains nothing that Wikipedia couldn't give you. It is simply AI responses to user prompts (and probably even using the free ChatGPT). I'd maybe be fine if the "author" was up front about this, but they're not. And that's what bothers me the most. Don't get this book or any other book by this "author".
