As much as I respect and support Dr. Yildiz, all of this sounds a whole lot more like a tale of human error than one of robotic AI tyranny.

Hello Author,

Your experience will work as an eye-opener for the belief that Artificial Intelligence can replace Human Beings. Yes it can automate humongous tasks thereby reducing dependency on humans but it can not replace human emotions like empathy or situational judgemental calls.

In your case if the task was monitored by an individual probably after analyzing the market response you would have been approached to inquire about the reason for delay and extra time would have been provided to do the needful. That is the power and importance of empathy which does not exist in Artificial Intelligence.

Your book is a pearl in the sea of knowledge and I am sure this issue will not hamper its growth. I wish you all the very best for the upcoming editions of your book.

Regards

I'm sitting here trying to imagine the frustration I would have felt in your place-- hey, I'm scaring myself!! 😵‍💫😱💦💥🚑💨 Thanks for your example: determination and keeping a cool head is a combo that wins thru. Kudos to Dr. Mike for his uproarious comment and good humor-- just what you needed. And congrats, Dr. Yildiz, on getting your book over the finish line. 🏁👍👏💪🙏

Thanks for the update; I just grabbed my Kindle copy. Your Chapter 15 draft in particular did me a lot of good, well beyond the purchase price of the book itself. Thank you.

Very sad that this happened to you. I also had multiple mishaps with Amazon because of their bots. A word of caution: As everything is reviewed by bots there now initially, if you repost all those chapters from your book, the review bots may block the book and question your copyright. It has happened to many people I know and happened to me once when I updated my book's manuscript.

I’m so sorry for this frustration. You spent so many hours creating a great resource for many of us. Robots are the worst.

Cheers for quoting my Aussie humor, but I wasn’t just crackin’ jokes, mate—I meant every word! These robots are bullying their way into our lives as it happened to me too, and it’s starting to grind my gears. We rely on them too much! One day, we’ll be handing over the reins, and before we know it, they'll be bossing us around, leaving us begging for mercy—like we’re at their mercy! 😏 Let’s not get too cozy with our future overlords, eh?
