    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.

      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.

      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.

            Anyway, I agree with you!
