If you needed any further proof as to why AI in the writing world is horrific, or why Amazon is…

tweet by @JaneFriedman: As of today, there are about half a dozen books being sold on Amazon, with my name on them, that I did not write or publish. Some huckster generated them using AI. This promises to be a serious problem for the book publishing world.ALTtweet by@JaneFriedman: A brief update: After going back a few times with Amazon on this issue, I was notified the books would not be removed based on the information I provided. Since I do not own copyright in these AI works and since my name is not trademarked, I'm not sure what can be done.ALT

If you needed any further proof as to why AI in the writing world is horrific, or why Amazon is trash, read Jane’s tweets as well as her article.

My latest cartoon for New Scientist

myjetpack:


A cartoon. Ten men in suits sit around a large table at a board meeting. The man at the head of the table is saying:The bad news is the company's position that "Climate change isn't real" is becoming increasingly untenable...The good news is that if we hold on for a bit longer, we can effortlessly switch to "Oops! it's real, but now it's too late to do anything about it."ALT
