Hi Vivian. Thanks for coming up and explaining things. I apologize if I sounded too harsh, because I really want to be fair here. But I do think we have to push for a more conscious content consuming in the era of highly capable LLMs. There is a threshold where I can't really tell anymore if something is pure AI Slop or AI assisted, as pretty much everything is and will be from this point on. And I think that having that critical thinking is important before spending 60~90 bucks on a book.

Whoever owned your domain 10 years prior is not important to this matter, I was just pointing it out that it was very likely not you.

> One aside, in genuine astonishment rather than complaint: it is striking how multifaceted a picture of a stranger can be drawn from a WHOIS record, an Amazon sample and a GitHub page. I have read it with more curiosity than dismay, and learned things about myself in the process.

Well, in my opinion that's your fault entirely. All your descriptions are rather vague on all your networks, which makes this whole thing more suspicious.

> Slop in the AI-slop sense it is not. Heavily edited and translated, yes. Authored, structured, fact-checked and re-read line by line by a man in Germany having rather more fun with this than he had expected, also yes.

Thanks for being transparent with this. I didn't find any mention of that before in your site, so that's good to know.

> Now it is up to you to dig further and keep me on my toes. Ask away. One small request: stay fair.

Once again, I want to be fair and this is nothing personal. I'm not digging any further either. I did change my original comment from "This is 100% AI Slop" to "This seems AI Slop" minutes after I posted it, because I want to acknowledge that I might be wrong.

However, I want you to take my comment more like the one from a possible costumer (after all, I have huge interest in the subject and that was what drove me to do it) who wanted to do some research on an author before spending $90 on their book. This is a platform for discussions, I also raised that concern so other could chime in.
