KssioAug@piefed.ziptoTechnology@lemmy.world•AI-generated books are flooding Amazon and tanking sales for human authorsEnglish

5 days agoExactly 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.
If I had to guess, most of these ‘books’ are some kink bullshit. Ever since I looked for the rankings in the Kindle section, it was flooded by books with men or women stripping on the cover and some random erotic titles. Among them some rare exceptions (and most of these were some cheap self-help stuff).
That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised this is what’s being actually affected. I can’t see the actual data or content of the article though, because it requires me to subscribe and I definitely won’t.
