"AI" plague

Just unsubscribed from the Humble Bundle bundle announcements email list after the third incident of getting "AI coding" book offers. I have been a customer of theirs since like… basically the beginning?

After the second incident I sent them an email saying I'd unsubscribe if it happened a third time. They sent me an email thanking me for my feedback and saying they'd pass it on to the team. Two weeks later they do it again.
