An article pointed out the proliferation of ChatGPT-authored books in Amazon’s Kindle Store.
Main point: “ChatGPT is listed as the author or co-author of at least 200 books on Amazon’s Kindle Store, according to Reuters. However, the actual number of bot-written books is likely much higher than that since Amazon’s policies don’t explicitly require authors to disclose their use of AI.”
More about it:
- “…these books will flood the market and a lot of authors are going to be out of work.”
- “There needs to be transparency from the authors and the platforms about how these books are created or you’re going to end up with a lot of low-quality books.”
- “…the technology is only going to get better, so detection will become more challenging.”
Why it matters: “…it’s not about credibility. It’s about the possibility of making a quick buck. That’s all they care about.”
