I read the first few paragraphs. Very much reads like LLM slop to me...

E.g., "Zig takes a different path. It reveals complexity—and then gives you the tools to master it."

If we had a reliable oracle, I would happily bet a $K on significant LLM authorship.

Yeah and then why would they explicitly deny it? Maybe the AI was instructed not to reveal its origin. It's painful to enjoy this book if I know it's likely made by an LLM.

If you find it useful no harm in enjoying it! The main problem with AI content is it's just not good enough...yet. It'll get there. The LLMs just need more real-world feedback incorporated, rather than being the ultimate has-read-everything,-actually-knows-nothing dweeb (a lot of humans are like this too). (You can see the first signs of overcoming this w/ latest models coding skills, which are stronger via RL, I believe.) (Not first hand knowledge tho -- pot kettle black situation there.)
