Authors are now facing an unprecedented challenge - Artificial intelligence (AI). 

 

AI-based “books” , which are computer written, rather than human, are flooding the market and reducing our ability to earn a living wage writing books for you, our amazing readers.

 

The problem with AI as it stands today? It’s not capable of thinking on its own. It doesn’t create anything new or unique. All it can do is ingest data and mimic someone else’s style, plagiarizing art and books without the original creator/author’s consent. There’s a very real chance human authors will be forced out of the market as AI-written works take over. Yet your favorite authors bring magical worlds, emotions and experiences to life in a way that a computer can’t. If you want to save that, then authors and artists need your help.

 

So, what’s a reader to do?

 

I hope that you support human written books and learn more about the harmful effects of AI-written books and AI-generated art.  I also hope that you ask Amazon to ban AI-written books. You can email them at cs-reply@amazon.com or call their service line at 1-888-280-4331.

 

The Dangers of AI:

 

• AI can only mimic human emotions. 

• AI copy/pastes existing data scraped from a variety of sources, many of which include bias, prejudices, and other extremes. 

• It’s sampled from past books but can’t reflect where humanity is now or where it’s going, as human written books can.

• AI plagiarizes popular books

• Not protectable by copyright if you didn’t do the majority of the work

• Each of the works that is copied to train the AI is infringed, unless permission was granted or an exception applies. 

• AI-generated works will compete directly with the human works copied and, as such, will harm the authors of the original works and the entire industry.
