@AlSweigart the fact that this is physically on paper really feels like a final insult
@glyph @AlSweigart I feel like they really tried to automate the boring stuff of... writing?
(Al vs AI... First round. FIGHT!)

@AlSweigart I am revising my opinions about when it becomes reasonable to burn books

@AlSweigart The typesetting on this is complete garbage as well. Someone just copied/pasted all of this and called it good.
Of course when your end user is required to purchase your product, it probably doesn’t matter if it’s totally shit.

@AlSweigart Well, as I always say: why read something that no-one cared enough to write?

@glyph Oh, but if you want one more insult:
ChatGPT would have caught this.
They didn't even bother to have AI edit their book.

@pythonbynight @glyph Well that was easy.

@AlSweigart @glyph it's the absolutely lowest effort possible

@AlSweigart i just imagined the betrayal I'd feel if I went out of my way to buy a physical textbook, start reading it expecting to learning something that was written there by a fellow human being who was as excited to write all this...
...only to learn nothing I've read meant anything. It was all hallucinations. I'd be so angry and disappointed.

Text not worth writing are texts not worth reading. -

@AlSweigart so no one researched it, no one wrote it, no one copyedited it, and no one reviewed it. Let me guess: $50?

@AlSweigart Bring back hooman proofreading I say! I used to proofread and typeset scientific papers and textbooks, we would get charged a whole £1 per mistake that we had missed, including even for one lowly comma. One company we worked for moved to China and India and paid the workers there next to nothing. We gave up as freelancers soon after this. Took me years to come to terms with the fact that everything I bought or touched had text with glaring mistakes! Now, however I don't give a fuck

@crazyeddie Applies all the same - text books for schools should be developed and written with care - otherwise its best to ignore them ... @AlSweigart

@AlSweigart I once found an article on the front page of a printed newspaper that began "scroll down for an interactive map"

@AlSweigart Now there’s only ONE rule: Don’t buy books written after 2021.

@AlSweigart That seems oddly par for the course.

@AlSweigart that's right
