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

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.
