I was once gifted a cookbook on Amazon that was full of pre-LLM &amp;quot;sludge&amp;quot; of suspect internet-collected recipes along with a stock photo of an author with fake credentials (her author page is still up, although her books have been pulled and apparently she&amp;#x27;s a man now &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.amazon.com&amp;#x2F;stores&amp;#x2F;author&amp;#x2F;B0716Q2Y4Z&amp;#x2F;about&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.amazon.com&amp;#x2F;stores&amp;#x2F;author&amp;#x2F;B0716Q2Y4Z&amp;#x2F;about&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;p&gt;When I left a negative review pointing out that the author was a stock photo (entire content: &amp;quot;The author of this book is a fraud. There is no Tina B. Baker, she is a stock photo.&amp;quot;), Amazon pulled the review saying it violated their guidelines.</text></comment>
