New gerhard barkhorn book

[Laurent Rizzotti]

Guess it is AI work. There is a writer called Andrew Witt, but he is an art historian rather than someone who will write biographies of military people.

..I've scanned some text and asked AI to do a stylistic analysis. This tends to suggest that the text is "AI-assisted" but not necessarily "AI-generated". Full report in the usual place. What struck me the most about it (..as a human..) was the highly polished (albeit generic) phrasing and constant repetition. And while the writing appears 'authoritative' it lacks any real detail. Very few specific incidents feature - 31 May 1944 being an exception. I've compared Witt's book with Don Hollway's 2012 "Aviation History" biography and Christophe Cony's lengthy bio in "Avions" (issue 176) along with other online texts but have found no evidence of 'source' material used. The book is 175 pages (the chapter 'Starting Over' is p124) and has no images or bibliography - but there are six blank empty pages at the back!

Quick and easy. I can "write" or not write a book with the assistance of a program called AI. Which, by the way, is a pattern recognition program that will provide a text arrangement that suits the request. Thank you Neil for your comments.

Thanks for the replies.
I can safely take it off my want list!
