edit the question to: “How much do you care”
I love reading and am always on the hunt for a new book.

I’ve noticed an uptick in AI-generated books on Amazon. Often the AI books lack plot or experience of being human that leads to them reading as very machine-like. The author pages sometimes have AI generated photos too.

Oversaturation of this kind of content makes finding high quality, and human-authored text (which has more depth in my opinion) really hard. It’s also so frustrating for me because writing a book used to be a way to proclaim some sort of authority in storytelling, or if it’s non-fiction, a specific subject. Now, that hard work of creating authority is being shrunk down into some well-constructed prompts.

What are your thoughts on what finding books to read in the future will be like?

Do you care if a book is human authored or AI-created?

To what lengths do/would you go to find high quality reading by a human?

    I care.

    There is a usually a huge gap in writing quality between an author who writes about someone elses experiences, and someone writing about their own experiences.

    Why do people believe a silicon intelligence can write well about the human experience without a meatbag of its own?
