gpt-author: Write fantasy novels using GPT-4 and Stable Diffusion. Iโm afraid Amazon will soon be full of AI-generated books, if not already.

Iโm not sure how I feel about this project.
There were threads on Reddit also showing technical books on Amazon with โAs an AI language modelโ at the start of random chapters.
Here's how I feel about AI books (and almost all AI art): If you can't be bothered to write it, why should I be bothered to read it? Good art is idiosyncratic, not the amalgamation of all previously existing art.
Honestly, I don't think it makes a difference. An author friend of mine used to say that 1000 books are written for every one that is published. By now I imagine it's at least 10x that.
Nothing will particularly change in how publishing houses handle things, sure the print on demand services will increase but is anyone really reading them anyway?
Iโm not against AI-generated content in general. Content is content, it doesnโt matter if it was written by a human or a machine if itโs useful or entertaining.
I know this project is just a fun prototype, but Iโm sure it will be used to generate low-quality filler garbage which will then be sold at prices similar to high-quality books written by humans. That feels obviously wrong to me.
Have you read any is it good enough?
The style is overly verbose and flowery to the point of being unreadable, so I gave up after a couple of pages. I wanted to see if the book was thematically and stylistically consistent, and if it had a proper plot but I lacked the patience.
I guess they used the wrong prompt ๐ I wonder if the story makes sense
https://shatterzone.substack.com/... Robert Evans just had a two-part "Behind the Bastards" about this topic, in particular about grifters trying to sell folks on cranking these out en-masse to children. He's usually not one for moral panics, as much as this sounds like such, but it is a potential issue.

The "If not already." Gets me. It's been like this even before now. Even before AI people would just cut and paste the same book over and over and price hike regardless of quality. So this has probably been a thing since the initial openAI demos.
