Who the hell is biting them though? I wouldn't even think of buying a book by a human without prior research. Gifts maybe?

Exactly what I wonder. I have a list of 110 (and growing) books I want to read, all of them written by human beings, and I discover something new all the time. There's no way I will buy a random book on Amazon, be it from AI or by some author I've never heard anything about.

People with metal teeth! They can bite through this, they can bite through that...

They can even bite through the main power conduit!
