This looks AI generated.

There are places where it includes citation references like [15] (search for "on complex problems" on https://appetals.com/promptguide/advanced-techniques-for-pow... ) that are just text, they don't resolve to anything.

Other places repeat the same point twice for no apparent reason - the "Context window" section on https://appetals.com/promptguide/understanding-the-machine-m...

I spotted a few "not X but Y" constructions, like "You'll learn to communicate with AI like a pro, not like someone shouting into the void."

I don't think reading this is a good use of your time.

Not AI generated. I initially thought of giving citations. It's all my study notes.

I actually found the citations on the last page: https://appetals.com/promptguide/references/

If it's not AI generated there's something very weird about your writing style.

This page in particular comes across as straight up LLM hallucination: https://appetals.com/promptguide/resources-and-tools-for-pro... - it lists "Prompt Engineering Discord" and "LinkedIn Prompt Engineering Groups" without providing links to anything, then lists "Legal Prompts Library" and "Marketing Prompts Collection" and "Developer Prompts Repository" under "Industry-Specific Collections", each with three bullet points and again without linking to anything.
