the essentials in brief
AI books are now ousting human authors from the bestseller lists. Amazon is now taking steps to counteract this.
It is no longer uncommon for people to use artificial intelligence (AI) to write entire books and publish them on Amazon. However, the problem is now taking on a new dimension: human authors are increasingly being pushed off Amazon’s bestseller list by AI-generated books.
These AI works could influence potential readers and reduce payouts through Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited (KU) business model. This is reported by the “Frankfurter Rundschau”. There is also the possibility that AI books will be misused for “click farming” to artificially increase clicks and page views.
Are the measures sufficiently effective?
Amazon has clear content guidelines for the books it puts up for sale and tries to combat fraud. Some of the suspected AI books have been removed from the bestseller list. Still, the impact of AI on publishing and the creative industries is unclear.
The question now is whether this actually threatens authors and whether the Amazon control mechanism is sufficiently effective. This is the only way to prevent misuse by AI-generated books. The future of AI in the literary industry remains uncertain.
