I sell programming ebooks on regular expressions, CLI one-liners like grep/sed/awk, Vim, etc.

My fear has been that AI tools will replace the need for such books. Didn't think of the angle that books themselves will be automatically generated.

I've been seeing lower sales past few months, but not sure if it is just normal downturn or AI related, etc.

I would think google already replaced the need for such books. You think people would be better at asking "AI" than asking google?

One difference is that you get solutions without having to dig through the search results. And you can iterate while retaining current context.
