Isn't the "For Dummies" series some sort of trademark? I'm amazed they didn't get sued for using the name. Crap like this devalues the rest of the "for dummies"

  Although the author shows the covers of 11 books, only one of them - "NFT for Beginners" - is full of GPT-3-looking nonsense. The "NFTs for Dummies" book is presumably not nonsense, or at least no more so than the subject matter demands.

  That book seems to be an actual for "dummies book", written by a doctor of business analytics who teaches at Santa Clara University, for what it's worth. She also authored "DeFi for dummies". If I had to read any of these books, there's a good chance that the for dummies one is the least bad of the 12, but odds are you are better off reading 0 of these books.

  > Crap like this devalues the rest of the "for dummies" books. I'd argue Wiley already did that themselves. They sell the Dummies brand to any company with a large checkbook.
