I appreciate that the author clearly states that he wrote the book with various LLMs. This way people that don't want to read LLM generated text (like me) can skip it and LLM enthusiasts can enjoy it.
this book was written with significant assistance from Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. In the current era of technical publishing, deliberately avoiding AI would be highly inefficient and likely counterproductive, potentially even resulting in a lower-quality final product compared to what can be achieved with AI augmentation. Virtually all high-quality manufactured goods we use daily are produced with the aid of sophisticated tools and automation; applying similar principles to the creation of a programming book seems logical.
Using chatbots tells a lot about author's abilities. It is OK to use chatbots to adapt your book to some 9yo students, it is OK to generate images for a computer game to be permitted publishing it in someone's software market, it is OK to use advanced spell checking.
But it is not OK to make your tool thinking instead of you. If chatbot can generate the book for you about some random topic that means the book is already existing. What a sucker your reader should be if he chooses to read a byproduct handbook written by the entity who does not have an ability to learn at all.
