No AI was used in the creation of this book. I wrote it at the height of the Covid-19 lockdown with my woefully isolated human brain. The cover was made by Ukrainian designer @miblart. The cat to your right was hand painted by Vera J. Kent, a talented artist based out of St. Paul, Minnesota.

Generative AI is enormously harmful to writers, designers, painters, musicians, our critical thinking skills, and the environment. While it holds promise in certain fields, such as medicine, it can and must first be regulated to mitigate harm.

Remember: A system is only ever as good as the motives that form it. One must question the motives of companies that train their learning models on pirated books.

People can and must be prioritized over profit. That is the only way the world gets better.
