Amazon book openly written by AI makes 'an AI examines humanity' its selling point

A Reddit user spotted an Amazon book explicitly written by AI, with that as its literal selling point: You Are Very Strange (And I Mean That Kindly): An AI Examines Humanity by P.J. Gonzalez.
The pitch — a machine writing about how weird humans are, packaged as a book for humans — left the poster unsure whether it's genius marketing or the funniest unintentional comedy on Amazon, asking whether the concept draws readers in or puts them off.
