My vision is horrible, so I do all my reading on my Kindle. The adjustable font size means I can keep reading.
I’ve always had the “ad supported” version since that became an option. In all these years, there has been only one ad that wasn’t for a book (Tide), so I haven’t minded seeing the ads at all — I like seeing what other books are out there.
That is until the last few weeks. “Authors” have started flooding the ads with AI-generated childrens books.
I tracked one of them down to the “publisher” (AI) site, which bills itself as:
> Improving storytelling through human <> AI collaboration.
All you need to do is write a prompt (as brief as 20 characters long), pick an art style for the cover, and press a button. It creates the whole book for you.
There’s even a “Publish on Amazon” button…
As a test to see if it was really that easy, I asked it to write a book about getting revenge on authors who use AI to write books. At least that gave me a laugh:
