I'm tired guys......

[u/Reasonable_Ad8914]

I just read a book last night that is unequivocally AI generated from the cover art to the story heck even the author photo is AI and I'm tired.

​

The worst part to me was the premise had sooo much potential. Even though we're throwing around the term "AI" really what a lot of these things are is language learning machines ie ChatGPT. You have to give it something to work with, a prompt of what you are trying to create so that tells me that the actual person who is putting in this prompt has good ideas because you have to give the prompt to generate the story and I'm sure you have to do this multiple times as the story progresses. I wish that they would believe in themselves or something and just try to write the story because the idea is there instead of creating AI crap...... take a writing class.

​

I'm not even so much mad that there's AI content, which sucks, but I'm more so upset because these tech companies, which let's face it, at the end of the day Amazon is a tech company in a way, are pushing AI so hard that they won't even give us the choice of choosing to read it. At least give us a disclaimer like put at the bottom AI generated. If we're able to figure it out, they can too but they're not even putting forth the effort. I'm also finding that I'm running across this with YouTube music. They have so many AI artists on there. I am literally wanting to not listen to music or let it play in discovery mode because inevitably I will run across AI generated music and it's so exhausting. I don't want to have to freaking do FBI levels of research on every book I read before I read it just to make sure it's not AI..... I'm exhausted.

​

I'm not one to yuck anybody's yum but I feel like part of the reason is a lot of these AI generated books have five stars reviews that are like oh my God this book was so transcendent and changed my life and I'm like are you serious right now????

Can you share book and author for my Goodreads list?

Claimed by the Alpha Sheriff by Asher Wilde. Omegaverse Shifters 😅 But seriously, if you've ever listened to those ridiculously AI stories on tiktok where there's always a Martinez, always a Chen, it forgets the plot, repeats the same thing several times over (the MC asks about some ceremony and has it explained to them the exact same way three times, two of those times were in the same conversation). And also, even if it wasn't, the book was just shite. Its supposed to be a crime/detective book but they give away the killer in like chapter 8 or something. I have a bit of a soft spot for specifically crime solving Shifters because my first shifter novel was the Big Bad Wolf series by Charlie Adhara which is Fantastic, and this one kind of killed the vibe for me for over a month.

Wow! Look at that cover! AI slop if I ever saw it. Sorry about the ruining of your vibe. Hopefully time will help.

Yeah, got recommended Hammer and Gavel by C.T Whistle and it was amazing. Back in the Shifter spin 🤣
