Wow! That is both hysterical and disturbing.

So weird to say "used an AI to help write the book" when the "author" seems to have barely edited the output

ew. as if. Don't want to ruin another writer, but I kind of hope they're, you know, done now. But, maybe not, even though the thought that "Nothing matters" is, in itself, a fearful cliche at this point. And, not to rehash a painful topic, but it still supremely grosses me out that NaNo used ableism/ disability access as a justification for all that. Even as I might appreciate more help with researching or formatting, some of the non-creative bits that still take a fair number of keystrokes I might wish I had one day.

also, so far, I don't like the way it writes yet. I don't care how many newsmagazine reporters lose their shit that a robot knows who Raymond Carver is. (I agree that we could get to a point where the ethical/metaphysical issues become more intense but to me...maybe we're getting a look at what's in the monkeys-with-typewriters' wastebaskets.) It's just, sort of off. Like a fake phishing e-mail from the bank that almost has you going, but then, mis-spells your name or is all crooked. It's not like I'm some kerning expert, but they get to a point where I think "No bank would send things that look like this."
