Yeah, this is a major issue across the board. For a wide variety of products, if they clearly marked which were AI generated, then the sales would likely speak for themselves.
But companies don’t really want to do this. They want to mix AI slop in with regular products, so that over time, the average consumer dumbs down enough to no longer know the difference. Then they just generate every product ever and number go up.
This still ignores the fact that no one will have money to put into the system from the bottom (which is the only way it flows in an economy), but here we are.
Can confirm. I use AI quite a bit, including writing stories where I have editorial control (that’s a dumb decision, she does the other thing!). The best AIs might be able to manage one short passable chapter, but it’s going to be shot quality without massive amounts of hand holding and rewriting.
It can be entertaining in a choose your own adventure sense where each page really only needs to be barely coherent and minimally cohesive with the other pages. I sure as hell wouldn’t pay $25 for an AI-penned book.
Hey well at least typos serve as a marker that everything is human written. You know, for all the comments about how AI is fancy autocorrect, why the hell is autocorrect still such fucking garbage??? Just do the things with the damn thing already!
It’s funny that LLMs generally have stellar spelling and grammar, but LLM/AI assisted autocorrect, at least the version on the iPhone, is horribly inferior to standard autocorrect.
Now that I read what you said again, I think I just said the same thing with other words. But I’m so tired I’m just writing what I’m thinking and I should go to sleep, but I’m here writing what I’m thinking.
Honestly, I hope they do. It’d be funny to see the sales figures. I don’t care how much anyone likes AI, but nobody wants to read AI novels.
I would rather read… anything else? It’s not like we have a shortage of books and especially not bad books.
I don’t get why people think they can have a career as a LLM middleman.
If I wanted to read a book written by a plagiarism machine about a subject I want, I’ll just ask it myself.
I don’t need someone else to ask it to write a book.
Same for LLM movies, or music.
If Hollywood thinks it can fire all the creatives and just spam out LLM generated content, well, so can the audience…
Will they label which books are AI? No law says they have to. Now never can shop there ever again because can’t trust the books.

Anyway, I agree with you!
People can ask an AI summary of the AI book i guess XD
Grok, is this true?
