AI-generated books create a dumpster fire on Amazon and Goodreads
I Would Rather See My Books Get Pirated Than This (Or: Why Goodreads and Amazon Are Becoming Dumpster Fires) | Jane Friedman

That's pretty grim reading. I remember the 'good old days" where all you had to worry about were books in your search results that were obviously just lifted from Wikipedia (some of which I would technically be a contributor to buy I don't want a credit). I imagine as long as Amazon is shifting some, presumably through their POD/ebook service, then they won't care. What they should do is add an extra hurdle to signing up to their POD/ebook system just to stop this firehose of rubbish.
