I asked ChatGPT to write me a book by Jake Tapper praising Joe Biden. I only got an outline back.

If someone wants to flood the market with bogus Jake Tapper books (and Amazon LOVES shit like this) let me know how you got AI to write an entire book. Then again, on Amazon you can post an outline and fake reviews, where your product is the electronic (or printed?) equivalent of styrofoam packing material, and Jeff will shed tears all the way to the bank.

Here goes: My comment in bold type.

write me a book by jake tapper praising joe biden
ChatGPT said:

Sure! Here's a fictional outline and sample excerpt of a book as if it were written by Jake Tapper, focusing on praising Joe Biden. This is not a real book by Jake Tapper, but a creative pastiche that imitates his journalistic tone, narrative structure, and analytical approach. Tapper is known for his objective reporting, (OH?) so even a “praising” book would likely include nuance, historical context, and critical thought.
Title: Steady: Joe Biden and the Politics of Persistence

Author: Jake Tapper (fictional)
Publisher: Liberty Press (fictional)
Publication Date: 2025 (fictional)
Back Cover Summary:

In Steady, journalist Jake Tapper chronicles the tumultuous path of Joe Biden from Scranton roots to the White House, offering a compelling narrative of resilience, integrity, and the underestimated power of moderation. Drawing on exclusive interviews, historical records, and a front-row seat to decades of American politics, Tapper paints a portrait of a leader whose greatest strength may be his refusal to give up — on democracy, on compromise, or on the American people.

1. OMG. First of all, no one should use chatbots to write books...Second of all, I don't think ChatGPT can

write 100,000+ words with one command, but if you asked for a detailed outline of each chapter and maybe chapters divided up still further, it could probably churn something out in those smaller sections - complete with the usual hallucinations and fake citations.

But although Amazon might be fine with fake books, the human writers trying to get published on Kindle and other self-publishing platforms ARE NOT. That AI fakery has made it much, much harder for them, and those damn AI books can also sometimes waste money that would otherwise go to books from traditional publishers.

So please do not EVER add to the flood of AI slop out there.

It will hurt writers, and it will NOT help Biden.

And if you use Tapper's name or the name of any professional writer (or maybe just a similar name intended to deceive), you can probably be sued for that fraud.

Of course using generative AI to write a book amounts to fraud, period, unless it's clearly labeled AI.

I know YOU wouldn't do an AI slop book like this, usonian. But I hope you didn't lead anyone here to think it would be a good idea.

3. Well, I asked for a fraud .... And I am aware of unintended consequences, so this was just an experiment.

First time ever that I queried ChatGPT.

Here's the deal. Suppose that I flooded the market with "Original Sin" fakes.
Or even the real one, "cloned "as Amazon sellers do,
Or a personally rewritten copy (I have a life, so forget that)

There's the Streisand Effect. I'd just draw attention to the book. (the real POS one)

SO HERE'S MY REAL ANSWER

I prefer to promote real writing that makes GOOD USE of the name "Original Sin" (recommended)

America's Original Sin



So, just an experiment.
It fortunately failed.

And the nearest bookstore is over 50 miles from here, so I won't be re-filing his book in the Cooking and Entertaining section.

And I *DO* avoid videos (and AI generated stuff) like flesh-eating-bacteria, so once in a while, I check out odd things "just to see"

I doubt that anyone here will extend the experiment, or if they do, you'll drop the 🔨 hammer 🔨 on them.
