Scammy AI-Generated Book Rewrites Are Flooding Amazon
Authors keep finding what appear to be AI-generated imitations and summaries of their books on Amazon. There's little they can do to rein in the rip-offs.
Melanie Mitchell on X: "A book on Amazon, published in 2023, with the same title as my 2019 book. The "sample" on Amazon reads like a ChatGPT summary of my book (with some small post-editing). Is this legal? Same author has published 2 dozen other books on Amazon in 2023 alone. 😠😡 https://t.co/JWnRYCj6Np" / X
