The author is transparent about the use of AI, but so many negative connotations in the site!!

That's so not true though. One of my uncles did work like this and it usually took a year or two to fully research a project and write a book but it is definitely doable to do this sort of thing - and much better, frankly - as a single individual. AI makes it a matter of days, but it also makes it next to worthless.

The biggest contribution here is to make an otherwise lesser known book more known.
