    Ah yes, another headline with no context.

    “Yes, I have actually no problem selling any book, as long as it doesn’t masquerade or pretend to be something that it isn’t,” the British businessman responded. “And that it has an essential quality to it, and that the customer, the reader, wants it.”

    “So as long as an AI-written book says it’s an AI-written book and doesn’t pretend to be something else and isn’t ripping off somebody else, as long as that’s clearly stated and the customer wants to buy it, then we will stock them.”

      Sure I get his position… But he’s wrong. AI books will devalue romance, penny novels, sci-fi and many more quick and dirty type of writings.

        Oh yea, I don’t actually like it, and would rather they refuse. But it’s not as bad as the headline makes it seem.

          It’s worse. Sugarcoating bullshit to make it more palatable while having at least all of the negative effect that was originally imagined.
