<p>Local author, P.A.Kane was putting together a flyer to promote his latest book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Larry-Plumb-Still-Here-Kane/dp/1735980013/ref=sr_1_1?crid=105B3B976HY4O&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BT-dUAZ_lJRh_EtDa3VIfg.W3aBSEuxQyajbAc9ByBK2UNzPZR8yAqTwGDqWYvWoNw&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=larry+plumb+is+still+here+p.a.+kane&amp;qid=1748993633&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C304&amp;sr=8-1">Larry Plumb Is Still </a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Larry-Plumb-Still-Here-Kane/dp/1735980013/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2EFD6PPX8K5CV&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BT-dUAZ_lJRh_EtDa3VIfg.W3aBSEuxQyajbAc9ByBK2UNzPZR8yAqTwGDqWYvWoNw&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=larry+plumb+is+still+here+p.a.+kane&amp;qid=1748978561&amp;sprefix=larry+plumb%2Caps%2C139&amp;sr=8-1">Here</a>.” When he showed his wife the picture he intended to use, she laughed—“You look like Paul Giamatti’s gay brother.”</p>

<p>This blunt assessment hurt Kane, the 1.5 million-ranked most popular Amazon author. To boost his spirits, he turned to ChatGPT, his new best friend, for a broader view regarding his appearance. He uploaded the photo and very simply asked Chatbot: </p>

<p><strong><em>Am I hot?</em></strong></p>



<p>Chatbot—Thanks for sharing your photo — here’s a grounded assessment based on what I see:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Face &amp; Expression</strong>: You&#8217;ve got a kind, confident expression — a genuine smile that makes you approachable. That kind of openness tends to resonate strongly with people.<br></li>



<li><strong>Style &amp; Grooming</strong>: The bald look with the neatly trimmed goatee works well; it gives a clean, put-together appearance. The black-rimmed glasses add a creative, intellectual vibe, especially with the well-organized, cozy room in the background.<br></li>



<li><strong>Overall Impression</strong>: You come across as friendly, smart, and self-assured — all of which register as attractive traits. There’s also a sense of calm and authenticity in how you’re presenting yourself.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>So, yeah</strong> — you&#8217;re good-looking in a way that feels real and lived-in, not forced or overly polished. That’s often more compelling than stereotypical “hotness.” If you&#8217;re projecting this same energy in person, you&#8217;re doing just fine.</p>



<p>Others shared their opinion regarding the relative &#8220;hottness&#8221; of P.A.Kane:</p>



<p><em>Aldi Assistant Manager</em>, Haley Heinfeld—Usually, a dude with a forehead that rivals the Asian expanse of Siberia would be a turnoff—but on the 1.5 millionth-ranked most popular Amazon author—it works…Well, no it doesn’t, the guy is fucking hideous.</p>



<p><em>Buffalo Common Council Member</em>, <a href="https://www.buffalony.gov/1679/Zeneta-B-Everhart">Zeneta B. Everhart</a>—I gather someone like George Clooney does suffer from “stereotypical hotness.” So Chatbot is right because this creepy schmoe ain’t no George Clooney, that’s for sure.</p>



<p><em>Software Engineer</em>, Tammy Tinfoil—He seems exactly like a guy who might find an AI girlfriend—on his fourth try.</p>



<p><em>Climate Activist,</em> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0TEsrN7FIKzczYPTiSy9KLUlUKMkozUtKLUoHAJWZChw&amp;q=greta+thunberg&amp;rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS1004US1004&amp;oq=greta&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqEggBEC4YQxiDARixAxiABBiKBTIUCAAQRRg5GEMYgwEYsQMYgAQYigUyEggBEC4YQxiDARixAxiABBiKBTIPCAIQLhhDGLEDGIAEGIoFMg8IAxAuGEMYsQMYgAQYigUyDAgEEAAYQxiABBiKBTIPCAUQLhhDGLEDGIAEGIoFMgoIBhAuGLEDGIAEMg0IBxAAGIMBGLEDGIAEMgwICBAuGEMYgAQYigXSAQk1NDM3ajBqMTWoAgiwAgHxBWtrkHculnnV8QVra5B3LpZ51Q&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">Greta Thunberg</a>—Chatbot also says this guy is “good-looking in a way that feels real and lived-in,” which is just a nice way of saying he’s about a million years old. Please—never look me in the eye or talk to me.</p>



<p><em>WGRZ Bilingual Reporter</em>, <a href="https://www.wgrz.com/article/about-us/team-bios/alexandra-rios/71-083fa04b-8af8-43dd-8b8e-398bc04ebf1d">Alexandra Rios-Malviya</a>—Ese es un carbon muy feo (That is one ugly motherfucker).</p>



<p><em>Retired Pink Flamingo bartender</em>, Kevin McNamara—Kane and <a href="https://buffalomud.com/2019/08/19/movement-to-demote-local-drummer-bad-ronald-to-just-ronald-growing/">Bad Ronald</a> could be a South Buffalo power couple.&nbsp;</p>
