Oh, for fuck’s sake, it’s apparently not the only non-existent book the little shit is telling people I wrote.

PS. It’s “human rights”, you dimwit, not “user rights”.

According to Google, this is the only page where your name and the phrase "The Web We Deserve" appear together.

Now, you have an ethical dilemma here. Since you are getting free advertising out of this dumb AI, if you wrote some quickie books with those titles, they'd probably sell.

If only there were some kind of software that could write a book for you in a hurry...
