Watch out - this book is entirely written by AI

There is no human writer whatsoever. Just a computer program that drones on and on, saying the same generic and information-free statements in from ChatGPT. Totally content free. I tried to get a refund and the Audible program wouldn't let me. No reasonable reviewer would have let Audible publish this book. It keeps saying what it's going to discuss and never gets around to it. There are chapters with good sounding names, but they just go through the same garbage, over and over again. No matter what the chapter title is, it's the same AI generated pablum that never makes a point. I want a refund for the $2 or so I spent on this garbage.
