Luckily, the future will provide not only AI titles, but the contents of said books as well.
Given the amount of utter drivel people are watching and reading of late, we're probably already most of the way there.
I was under the impression there were completely ai written books for sale on the internet on places like Amazon already!
There are, and you can even find tutorials on how to churn out these slop books and audiobooks to make a buck off people who don't notice
In fairness, crumby books can hardly be blamed on AI. To quote my mother, "That train's left the station."
Like, the AI slop ones will probably have better writing, sadly.
You can absolutely blame AI for the explosion in slop books. Just because a bad thing happened before AI doesn't mean it wasn't made much worse by it.
Agreed 110℅.
I bought one the other day that wasn't even that, it was literally translated by Google translate. It was so bad, I had to translate the French text word-for-word into English before it made sense.
