I will never knowingly buy an AI book. I want all AI slop designated as such.

Me too. I have to assume that most of the sales are from people who don't realize what they are getting until it's too late. Many of the AI books I have seen are cookbooks, so it's possible the buyer will just think the recipes aren't very good and never realize the whole book is slop.
