| Has anyone read this yet? I'm extremely skeptical of any book published after ~2024 just because of how much AI slop is in physical books these days. Looks interesting, but I'd like to see some reviews on the content first before buying. |

| ▲ | gumby 38 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Bill Pollock (who is nonstarch press) is a very serious editor so I would not worry about that with NSP books. Of course it’s a small operation, and so isn’t under the same pressures of a big operation. When you’re a boutique operation your only differentiation is quality. Your rule of thumb is unfortunately probably pretty good in the general case. | | |
| ▲ | matherial 24 minutes ago | parent [-] | | The editor is not the one producing the text. For this book, the sample chapter seems to make heavy use of LLM-generated text. Pangram agrees. I guess that for books about AI it's fair game? Eat your own dog food so to speak. People who don't like AI are not the target audience. |
