A study conducted by Originality.ai reviewed 558 paperback books listed in Amazon’s Herbal Remedies category between January and September 2025.
The study reported that 82% of these books showed strong indications of being generated by AI, based on patterns in sentence structure, phrasing, and similarity across multiple titles.[1]

In addition, many of the authors listed on these books did not have a verifiable professional background, public profile, or clinical training in herbal medicine. Several author names appeared to be reused across multiple unrelated titles, suggesting possible use of pseudonyms.[1]

I don't care what supplements/herbs others take - it's their business. Perhaps a Darwinian influence. However, when it comes to communicable diseases, and aromatherapy scams, it gets personal. Powerful forces are behind that industry.
