Is there a list of known AI authors? I feel like there's some genres that are surely saturated with AI authors.

If Eric Vall is not an AI then surely that's just a pen name for a slew of underpaid people trying to pay the bills or pay for car repairs, right? Several other LitRPG people seem eqaully as generic.

I don't read/listen to Romance but surely that field has got to be overwhelmed by AI.

That is a good question about AI authors.  We got the AI voices doing books but, never heard of any of them writing them (or the big companies haven't let that cat out of the bag yet).

Some folks do use one name to have multiple people write under and, that is nothing new.  Tom Swift writer of the early 1900's did the same thing so, you can't go by the amount of books or whatever is written under a name.

This does bring up a point, is there an AI author's list out there and, if so, what should we look for?  Food for thought.

Stay safe.

I know of that post and, posted in it as well.  You were talking about AI voices coming for our media (which is 100% right).

I think this is what if, not just AI voices but, an AI wrote the thing.  Is there a list of AI authors or, will it be hit or miss in the general public to find it all out far too late to have a chance of stopping it.

Either one (AI voices or writers) is a crying shame....next up, Skynet?!

Remember....ALL HAIL the new AI overlords!!! lol

Stay safe folks and, enjoy this last of the summer's heat.

I read this article on Vice a couple of weeks ago and it had me thinking about some of the high volume/low quality authors.

Scary or What? 

Love letters found in a shoebox, scanned into a Pc and turned into a book by an AI - apparently crap but, on Amazon.

Author finds his Biography, being sold as an audiobook. RobotRead

I'm definately burning all hard copies of any letters and Purging my PC of chat.  LOL
