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 think that if AI became genuinely as good as a human writer at creating original interesting stories, we would probably be dealing with such a deep intelligence that it could be argued that it deserves being treated as a human rather than a machine. It all depends on what you consider being human means.
Idk if this will ever be possible. For now, AI is at most a glorified parrot, and I’m probably downplaying parrots here. It’s really hyped up because there’s a ton of people salivating while thinking how to make a quick buck with even more automation.
