Yes, I recently bought a vegan cookbook just to find it full of AI nonsense, encouraging me to try it with beef or chicken. If you are looking for a new book on any topic, don't start on Amazon. Ironic that Amazon, originally a bookstore, can't be trusted to sell real books.

They were never particularly trustworthy as a bookstore, but they undercut B&M stores on prices, so if you used a B&M bookstore for discovery, you could turn around and order at a substantial discount from Amazon.

Can they be trusted to sell real anything?

There's a famous art faker whose fake art is being faked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Kujau
