Agreed. Whatever you might think of GenAI, using it poorly speaks to a fundamental lack of attention to detail. Even worse, it makes me question the content itself. If they used Stable Diffusion for the cover image, who's to say they didn't also use an LLM to generate some of the Rust examples in the book itself? Note: I'm not suggesting that the inherent usage of an LLM to generate Rust code is necessarily bad. What I am suggesting is that they might approach the review of said generated code with the same laissez-faire attitude as they did with the cover image.
