Reminds me of an old joke, written as a letter to a typewriter manufacturer:
I once read that it took Robert Frost over 2 years to write his poem “the road not taken”, well, with my trusty <brand> typewriter and a bit of practice, I was able to write it in just under 2 minutes!
And the readers breasted boobily away from that.
not AI but I can make a giant pile of shit every day, not even Stephen King can keep up if I publish evey one of my turds
“Book”
Oh good. Just what we need. More churn. /s
I’ve never found that authors who prioritize speed at the cost of everything else are worth reading
When I was very young I had this dream that I would learn everything, read everything. Shortly after I discovered that was absurdly impossible, even if you just limited yourself to non-fiction.
So I have no idea who would read an AI book, when there is just so much good stuff out there. It’s not like there is a dearth of literature.
I have only so much time on this earth and I am already selective about what I read.
Hear me out, we can get ai to read all the ai books, and then rate them, and have competitions. They can have annual shows that ai can watch, to receive ai awards.
If we can lock them all in, ai robots and their human assistants, then imagine a nice human read, or a nice walk in tue woods.
Might have the bodice ripper genre solved.
No those are just porn
Exactly. If there are books that are simply churned out as fast as possible, it’s those.
Look up The Diamond Club by Patricia Hawkins-Bradley to see what I mean.
Not a fan of Stephen King, I take it?
Who the fuck will want to read this all this useless trash?
Why would I bother to read a book no one bothered to write
Or it’s going to be AI written I might as well have AI write me a story instead of reading hers. At least it would be about something I like.

45 minutes bah. With cat > /dev/null I can “read” her slop novel in 0.001 seconds. She’ll never be able to keep up either.
with
cat /dev/urandom > mybook.txti can write an entire novel in just a few seconds! i call it the infinite monkey methodin fact you better stop the command after a few seconds or else your computer will crash trying to open itThe Library of Babel contains all texts that were ever or will ever be written using the English alphabet, up to 1,312,000 characters.
That’s absurd!
deleted by creator
Fucking hell. There’s literally no original combination of words anymore. I’ve been plagiarized in advance.
Also, it’s kind of creepy that you would do this to me…
Sorry. I’ve deleted it.
Also, that website doesn’t actually store all possible permutations of letters, that would be absurd. It’s just clever math and presentation to simulate such a library.
Still, you can search for any text string and receive an index number showing where to find it (the number alone is ~1MB in size).
And if you enter that index, you’ll always get back to that same page containing your text.
Or you can select books and pages at random and browse to see if you find something interesting.It’s a neat piece of mathematical art.
Oh, so it doesn’t actually have every page already, but generates them on command? That’s… interesting…
Just got a 200mb file! It must be such a good book if my toaster of a desktop can’t open it!
Cannot wait to read it on my laptop!
Edit:
Oh god! I was wrong! It is a much bigger file!
Where it deserves to go tbh
cat /dev/null > her_novel.txt
FTFY
“is it web scale?”
AI will be the only one reading them
So why would I bother with her slop instead of going straight to the slop machine?
That’s under the extremely labored assumption that I’d bother with slop at all.
Cool, she can use her AI to read them too, cause no one else wants to.
Reminds me of the computers in 1984 that cranked out pornography from mixing a handful of plots.
I can churn out 45 in 1 minute if we set the bar low enough
I’m sure it’s barely readable garbage.
