Are you talking about AI or self help books?
How is a book a machine?
Most of the bestselling self help books are slop, just not necessarily AI generated.
Truisms regurgitated by corporatist structures and advice groups to get people to struggle though and accept capitalism.
Probably talking about the self help publishing industry more than an individual book
Also not a machine.
