I won't name him here, but I recently got a #YouTube suggestion for someone who makes videos about "How to Make Money #Writing Books with #ChatGPT." The #YouTuber has a few actual books out, all of which are about marketing and not about "how to write #fiction."

Someone who tells you how to get rich, but who only got rich by telling people how to get rich is called a "Con Artist."

Someone who's never written a fiction novel, but tells you how to get rich by writing a fiction novel is also called a "Con Artist."

"AI can write books for you!" is one of the latest in a long line of #EasyMoney #GetRichQuickSchemes.

Also, #AI cannot hold a #copyright– nor can you to that #AIgenerated text, unless a #substantive portion of it is human-authored.

In other words, you still have to do the work.
