A glimpse in to the not so far off future.
In fact, next week (if you ask me).

Like AI written books, by the fucking thousand, are a new thing on Amazon? How do you think someone “writes” hundreds of books a month and publishes them print on demand and later Kindle unlimited on CreateSpace Digital Platform?

Can name “authors” but would rather not in public.

The Policeman’s Beard Was Half Constucted had more human writing in it than many, many books on business, tech, and computing on Amazon.

You’re right, it’s been this way for a long time in the “hustle bro” land of Amazon self-published books. The life cycle of the ambitious ones is insidious too - generate a short book about “How to invest in crypto” (or some other popular search term), price your book at the minimum, generate x-number of 4-5 star reviews, have your army of Amazon sock puppet accounts buy Kindle copies and post “purchased” reviews over about a week, raise the price 10x, generate LinkedIn and Twitter posts promoting the book, profit!

I know some people (not friends, barely acquaintances) that run “marketing companies” that used to contract freelancers that wrote fake reviews for Amazon products for clients. Now not only are the fake reviews AI generated, they have also added the above to their portfolio selling it to chumps as a “ghost writer and promotion” service. While doing it themselves too of course.

AI has vastly increased the output of this kind of fraudulent material beyond what humans could accomplish. That is the big thing that concerns me - for every “AI can inspire and collaborate with human creators” there are going to be a a lot more of this shit. I think we are doomed.

I guess the one good thing about all the attention GPTChat is getting is that they have to be doomed now that everybody knows about this, right?

Is that still a money laundering technique or have the powers-that-ought-to-be cracked down on that?

In this case it’s not a money laundering technique, but a technique that makes it cheap for you to buy the kindle copies for sock puppet verified purchase reviews. You do that over a week and then you jack it up (just before you starting posting the promotional LinkedIn, Twitter, etc post) so that real people taken in by all that will pay enough to make it worthwhile to you

Apparently doing it over a period of time makes Amazon not care about it - you “saw how well it was selling and reviewing and decided to raise the price”

Also money laundering though, I assume!
