AI-Generated Books of Nonsense Are All Over Amazon's Bestseller Lists

Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited bestseller list was full of books with titles like “Apricot bar code architecture” and “Jessica’s Attention” earlier this week.

My title might be a bit hyperbolic, but stuff like this worries me. I love to read and I love reading on a kindle. This has been going on for a while, but it has now reached absurd levels.

      Yeah for sure, but someone good at biology can surely handle AI, while other writers might not.

        This seems way to stem biased imho. Interacting with chatgpt isn’t really a technical skill. And editing prose certainly isn’t. I think writers, especially creative writers would be way ahead on prompts (basically an outline) and massaging the output into one more cohesive whole. Good writers can probably also discriminate between powerful prose and overblown pompous language that GPT can output sometimes.

        The other thing is I would hope that good writers would never have a filler chapter. I don’t like needlessly padded content of any type, and if I notice that my ranking of the content goes down.
