I was hoping that this was a book that I could recommend to others who wants to learn Rust.

Sadly, seeing that even the description was written by a LLM is enough to tell me that the entire book has probably been generated as well.

Thank you for taking time to comment. The sample is free before you decide anything: https://shankhan3.gumroad.com/l/kkqric. Judge the writing in the book itself,and leave your feedback i will try correct it in version 2.
Checked out the free sample and it also screams LLM written.

I don't have a problem with using llms for projects per se if it helps, so long as there is a vision, but why would anyone buy an introductory book to a popular language which the same llm could one-shot? What's the added value here?

The sample is there to judge. If it reads as LLM to you after going through it, fair enough. Others have found it useful enough to buy.
