Welp. Between this and the earlier AI-"written" book, I am thisclose to recommending that we cease purchasing titles from Springer

"Based on a tip from a reader, we checked 18 of the 46 citations in the book. Two-thirds of them either did not exist or had substantial errors. And three researchers cited in the book confirmed the works they supposedly authored were fake or the citation contained substantial errors."

Whoever buys a $169 book is probably not using their own money. Sad but good for the site here for checking and raising the alarm!
