I saw one of these with 200+ reviews and clicked on it out of curiosity. The cover was AI generated. The text was AI generated. The description was AI generated. The author's profile and picture were AI generated. Every review was AI generated.

Never let them tell you that gatekeeping is bad.

They instigated the AI bullshit themselves. It's all part of the plan, Anon.

Most of their profit is from AWS (cloud hosting) these days, and has been for years. Selling physical goods is high-revenue but high-cost.

The real question is why haven't you done the same thing?

I was looking at programming books the other day and basically it's a shitshow on amazon, if it's not coming from a real publisher there's a 99.9% chance it's ai slop

the worst part is that amazon actually shoves these in your face while you're browsing legitimate books, I think their algorithm priortizes new releases and there are thousands of slops being dumped onto the platform daily

tech books have been dead a while. and amazon isn't against all these AI books. they even have the absolute shittiest print-on-demand service now. you can buy one of the old favorites and get something that looks like 3rd gen photocopy on the cheapest paper.

This isn't the worst of it. The absolute worst is authors will spend significant time writing something, and then once they upload it to Amazon it will be copied and the exact same story/concept will be reposted with new AI slop covers, drowning out the original.
You could spend 10 years writing something and a week after being uploaded there's 50 slop copies of it, and Amazon doesn't care because they get a cut all the same.

this will be steam once someone makes a framework where the ai can do everything without a human having to put all the pieces together
