@maybedanielleee They picked up where small town grocery stores left off.
The old stores, like the Farmer's Co-op in my former hometown of 200, couldn't compete on price or variety with the "supermarket" 20 miles away. That was before Walmart.
@Slezkinite In one of my few "brushes with fame" over the years, I met Mark and Richard, they were very kind to me. I helped proofread an early draft of the book, and it wasn't bad.
I'm waiting to buy a hardcopy before I review it. I'm sure there's plenty of material to debate.
@WinterNewsome The credible reviewers are carefully reading it and taking notes, which takes time, as opposed to snatching a free copy with prejudice aforethought, using AI to do the work, and presenting irrefutable, erudite arguments like "this book is gay."
@MarkBrahmin I'm waiting to buy the hardcopy. I want to pay you for your work and have a real book in my hands.
AI is a prosthesis for the feeble minded. I'd rather be drawn and quartered than let a half-baked gizmo tell me what I could've read, if I wasn't too lazy to crack the cover.
