Every day, dozens of self published books are uploaded to Amazon. Crowding out actual aspiring, human authors, is a steaming pile of low effort garbage, and Ai slop. I sift through this pile to show you the worst and weirdest.

At least thirteen books published today with "random name and AI" as the author. Doing this should get you banned from Amazon publishing. #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

The Pittsburgh Paradox
By, Preston Jaquay
83 pages, Kindle Unlimited

Didn't think I would find Pittsburgh supremacy fan fiction being published on Christmas Eve, but here we are. Cover is AI but not the content (that's just regular human bad).

Covering the gibberish text Stable Diffusion shit out for you with little stars is a clever idea. Publishing "The Ultimate Halloween Handbook" on December 15th, not so much.

The opening paragraphs of "The Quantum Entanglement Apocalypse: A Cascade of Worlds (The Cascade Chronicles Book 1)"
This vapid simulacra of human prose is what you get when you ask a machine to write you a novel. I challenge you to read this without rolling your eyes at least once.

What are the chances that four different authors (all "with Ai") published their books (with very similar names) on the same day?

I've seen this "author" in my list before. This is 100% certified ai slop. Whatever model he's using isn't even particularly good at its job. Most books aren't formatted in titled paragraphs, nor do they typically begin with a "Plot Story".

I won't outright accuse this book of being Ai written, but I will say the Amazon summary, at least, has the hallmarks of being Ai written text. Namely the bullet list, which I've noticed a lot of Ai programs like to make, and how sort of sort of generic it sounds. πŸ’™πŸ“š
