I've closed my Amazon account. Nothing against KDP, they have done everything they said they would do. Just getting out of the biz. DKR/dkr
Have to sell books to make $$$. The market is saturated with BS AI generated 'survival ' books. Last year I logged $37 in sales for the year....
Aw man, bummer, I get a magazine 4 times a year, Books I don't keep around. I was reading 3 books at a time and one day simply quit reading.
Check your eye prescription. That's happened to me twice. Once with books, once with kindle. I was leaning way too hard on audible.
Really? AI actually writing books? Thats quite interesting... How do they read? I mean, is the story line put together well, the flow, characters developed...
Badly. Much like the dreck that drones on and on as found on YT. The character development is - at best - cliche and vanilla.
sorry ta hear Sir @DKR .. .. yup yup AI is bad .. .. many factual errors .. .. AI hallucinations .. .. stuff n things .. ..
We better ALL get used to AI competition because I'm afraid that it's the future, on the bright side, I hope to be retired or dead by then. A young woman that I work with is an art major at the local university (I hope that she can clean windows). She was complaining recently about the art dept. having an AI generated art exhibit on the dept. website. She was outraged that the university would be promoting non-human artist. I agreed with her and pointed out the short-sightedness of the art dept./university since AI is unlikely to be a generous member of the alumni association, but I pointed out that AI would most likely replace highly paid professionals first. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, and engineers are as replaceable as lower paid truck drivers and burger flippers.
Truly sorry to hear this. I have enjoyed reading your books, and find my self revisiting them when need a pick-me-up.
There should be a "Made by AI" or "Contains AI generated Content" disclaimer on everything produced using AI. @DKR sorry to hear your business has been off shored to a f*****g computer program. IMO almost all intellectual property will do the same. I'm glad I purchased several of your works. They are among the best of the genre.
I'm still posting short stories over on Survival boards. More for convivence than anything else. Like this Big Red or How I learned to love the surprises in life | Survivalist Forum
