I don't think this is a person posting, I think this a generative AI robot.

Having to pay money to sign into SA + deal with all the paperwork suggests person, but some AI rear end in a top hat could absolutely figure the $10 is worth it if for generating SEO on a terrible AI written book, and is using this awful book as a test pilot for flooding a relatively closed forum with spam. Hey, maybe you generate a purchase or three from the spam as well to offset the cost, and then any SEO generated is just gravy!

e: Ahh, maybe it is just a person who is really bad at posting. Hard to tell.

Okay. This is almost certainly a real book written by a real person who probably didn't use AI when writing the book itself. However, all the ad-copy + marketing materials + book cover is AI generated.

FWIW Tungyn Cheque there is a popular scam going around where someone uses AI to generate an awful book entirely written by AI, and then tries to sell this (fake, bad) book to an unsuspecting audience. These fake books also use AI for all their marketing copy. Don't use AI for your marketing copy!

As your marketing copy and the cover to your book is generated by a generative AI, you are currently Doing A Plagiarism, if unintentionally. AI companies like to pretend their algorithms always create original content, rather than been tools that routinely plagiarize by copy and pasting text wholesale. I strongly advise you to rewrite all of your marketing copy yourself, to design your own cover image in Photoshop or GIMP or whatever, and to stop using AI.

edit: Please post quotes from your chapter on dating. Thank you.

Rob Filter--Canva Magic Media is listed on the copyright page for the front cover image credit and all recommendations from the US Copyright Office regarding acknowledging AI are followed. There is no other AI used on marketing materials beyond the front cover. No AI was used in writing any part of the book. And, just to clarify, I am a real person, not a chat bot. I am also a member of the Authors Guild and fully support their position on AI and preserving intellectual property rights.

I'm not posting dating-related quotes or further excerpts as the pinata reception from this forum doesn't vibe with the spirit of the book or the author.
You definitely used AI for your marketing materials. I have PM'd you where.

come on share with the class
Here is an alternative story:

I was briefly taking private music lessons from a retired musician. I found his website. It contained his full personal name, his bio, and a gigantic list of professional credits for real media projects he'd worked on. It also contained a thousand popup porn advertisements.

I asked him about the website and he went "Yeah this is my real website. It's a nightmare." and we never spoke of it again. It's filled with porn to this day, popping up over credits for music composition for christian educational software.

As an aside in reference to a prior comment--the entire novel was professionally edited at considerable cost.
How much did the editing cost? Did you go with a private individual through their own service, or did you use some sort of a website / company middleman that put you in contact with an editor?

The AI generated marketing is amazingly terrible. Here are a few of the suggested interview questions for someone interviewing the author:

robot slurry posted:

The philosophy of nihilism has same negative associations. In the book you claim Buddha was a nihilist. Can you elaborate on this?

robot slurry posted:

You have a lot of literary references throughout the book. Are you concerned that some readers won’t pick up on them?
edit: lmao look at this advertising image it generated.
