With the advent of artificial intelligence, creating a book is not a very complicated task, since by choosing a theme you can make the pages ‘magically’ write themselves before you. And a priori this is not a problem for anyone, but when the name of a renowned author is used to sell these books that have been generated in a simple way, we do have a serious problem.
This is precisely what it happened to the author Jane Friedmanwhich has been found as books have started appearing in her name that she has not written. All these generated with artificial intelligence, being something that has been “disappointing” pouring much of the blame on Amazon and Goodreads.

The capital anger for the misuse that is given to AI
And it is that these platforms do not currently have mechanisms to be able to determine that the books that are uploaded correspond to the author that is specified. In other words, any reader can create a book with AI specifying that she is the author and start earning money quickly. Precisely the name of the author makes her have many more sales by generating trust.
According to the author, the books that have been found on Amazon and that are associated with her own name are the following:

In this way, the author is denouncing that they are taking advantage of amateur authors with her name to buy a book that they think is theirs but isn’t really. In addition, he reaffirms that they are generated with AI, since he has used advanced detection tools to determine it, as well as believing that due to the large amount of his content that has been published, it is quick to train an AI. But in reality, he only needed to read a few pages of these books to find out that they were generated by ChatGPT.
And although he tries to console himself by stating that these books do not receive reviews and that they are falling into complete oblivion, he is saddened that on the Goodreads platform these books are being assigned to your authorship. It is not easy to remove them from your profile as you do not have control over them and have to opt for other users to report this fact and have them removed.
It is for all this that the authors have the extra task of reviewing platforms such as Amazon so that there is no false content attributed to them. But this is something that cannot be stopped, even stating that “I would rather see my books pirated than this.” And it is that It certainly creates a lot of frustration. that this use is being made of AI to generate money quickly and usurping the identity of great authors. And he also believes that all platforms are becoming burning dumps for accepting this type of false content.
Today these books have already been removed from Amazon and Goodreads, attributing it to the reputation he has and the dissemination of his opinions. But this is something that surely will not happen with other authors who are going to see how defenseless they are on the net, now requiring greater controls by the platforms. And this is something that we are going to have to get used to from now on.
