      I understand there’s no way she had the time to have and polish 370 book ideas in 20 months. Probably “make me a list with 100 book ideas” rinse and repeat.

        She hasn’t even read her own books. She plugs the idea into AI and hires someone to do a one-over of the complete output from what it sounds like in the article

          Which raises the question as to how much human goes into that one-over to finish out confusing or incomplete bits.

          I’m curious to see one of these train wrecks, but I won’t give her money.

        Meanwhile, Stephen King adopted a pen name so he could release more than one book per year.

      It’s because we understand that we call foul.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as “AI” meant to increase market valuations.

  • Especially no AI advocacy.
  • No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
