@nixCraft got gifted a book recently “The Book of Coffee - A philosophy”. 40 pages in I was aware that nothing had really been said. Noticed lots of AI tropes. Checked publish date “2026”. Definitely an AI slop book.

Unfortunately I think this will now be common place.

@nixCraft How incredibly stupid. The entire book is brand new, completely original, copyrighted words. He began publishing them over a decade ago with a special art grant to produce very poignant original vids for each word.

Hell, OED picked up Sonder years ago. It's now in all major dictionaries.

This might be the purest example of vemödalen I've ever seen.

@nixCraft
The sad part is that who will want to write a book anymore? Who will want to publish tutorials?

Why?...when AI just sucks them up...and even worse, when it butchers them.

@nixCraft Like the article states: "but it isn’t an isolated case."
It's a great research of only one example. Unfortunately, publishing houses/their authors loose thousands of dollars by fake-sites and fake books. Such companies even sell fake biographies when a well-known author launches a book. Meanwhile, they fake even voices, videos. Smaller publishing houses often give up ...
What we need are big publishers
