It might seem so, but it is not an AI promoted post. The book was finished with the AI tools, but a bulk of it was written by myself plus the structure and direction.

And I am human, who first finished a similar course roughly 20 years ago, worked as a TA and taught students programming and algorithms

I didn't talk about the book.

I talked about the first 5 comments on the thread, all by new accounts.

It seems like an AI campaign. not organic up votes.

OK, I am not sure who these are. I would not promote my post like this. They are indeed new accounts
