Author seems to be a serial liar who takes AI work and “publishes” it. His website says he’s an AI architect, speaker, blockchain expert, author (he self-inserted into his book, with AI images of himself) and experienced in dozens of disparate disciplines. A section on “Students” at Princeton despite never being a professor there, and none of the linked papers mention him and their years don’t match.

There do seem to be papers written by him on Research Gate, with others. But yeah, the faculty search on Princeton returned nothing (https://static-tables-prod.princeton.edu/faculty-and-profess...)

And all this slop is feed straight back into the LLMs that produced it.

Not quite, a minimum effort before making such accusations would have led you to e.g.

https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=kybwg2oAAAAJ

Where you can see fairy cited work already before 20010
