Amazon enables AI books to continue self-publishing
FTFY
If they actually wanted to stop them they could, easily, but why would they, they clearly make them easy money..
What's this easy fix then? Just a lower number? That will just mean more publishers.
AI detection tools don't work, and humans aren't much better, unless they're subject experts. How do we stop AI books?
You don't. There are plenty of legitimate cases for using AI (translation, spell check, summaries, etc.). The solution should be to use AI to categorize all the books and their content, something in the style of Steam-tags, but going even deeper into what is actually in the book and done by machine, as nobody has time to read all those books.
This is kind of the biggest surprise in this recent rise of AI: We got to generation before categorization took of. Even so a lot of the AI work in the last 10 years has been focused on categorizing, nobody has build anything with it, at least not user accessible. Everything is still running on human made categories. The only time you see categorization in action is in the recommendation algorithms of Youtube or TikTok, but the categories that drive them are hidden from the users.
I'm waiting for a self hosted organization ML that can find my desired data in the thousands of documents and pictures
I 110% guarantee that this issue was brought to the attention of several people with the ability to rapidly implement a fix, but the subject was dropped when cost to develop was mentioned. Amazon is the glass and steel incarnation of human malice.
And the AIs probably run in AWS, so it generates them money while it generates them money.
