Two things here: First, good luck to all the publishers and agents who will face a torrent of this glossy, incomprehensible shit over the next few years.
Second: For real creators, this will add to the growing swamp of unfiltered shit that new books find themselves in online. The sheer quantities that these can be produced in will make real books even harder to find.
@davey_cakes It's not that these will be a realistic alternative to real books any time soon – though there'll be a trend for bonkers AI books at some point – it's that it will create a tide of this crap that dilutes the value of every real book that gets published from now on, in a market where our work is steadily being devalued all the time.
