I did a few months ago, on Kobo. Impulse purchase based on a interesting-sounding summary.

Opened and skimmed through and clearly AI-genned pictures and oddly bland text. I couldn't find any reliable info on the author so I refunded it.

Once, although in fairness the book was free (at a promotional price).

I got suspicious when the book presented a poem about India and tried to rhyme "ranges" with "Ganges".

Real soon now, everyone will be using AI to detect if something has been created by an AI. Sigh.

To answer the question: No, I haven’t. But I got three knowingly to check how AI promoters use AI to "write" books about how to use AI.

[Rant: Did you know AI really means Artificial Idiot™?]
