This is the first thing you see when you open it. A kerning nightmare followed by three lines that all just reiterate what the "book" is about, quantity without quality is the name of the game here. There is a reason I'm not saying this is 100% AI generated yet that I will get to in a moment. It is obviously full of AI garbage like this generated image of a forest full of balls of yarn with I presume the grim reaper waiting at the end of the path to claim more souls to fill the slop machine

After that is a table of contents, sorry, table of "content". There are of course, no page numbers in the book so it is completely useless. I think this is more to do with how amazon publishing works. It's full of layout errors like titles on the page before subject, more kerning issues, and the empty square glyph in the bullet list because the print font didn't have the character needed.

@TechTangents@dialup.space Listen, Grim's not a bad guy. He wanted to keep doing the harvesting by hand but the board said they had to consider shareholder value and if Grim didn't get on board with AI they'd just hire some other reaper to do it and he was welcome to resign. Grim's got three kids to feed and can't lose this job right now, especially not without termination pay. It's really not a good time for the family, 😢

@TechTangents@dialup.space @petrillic@hachyderm.io I’d put the fucked up title down to a missing font.
