Shouldn't there be a "massive barrier" to new people writing checks notes AI-generated children's books?
I've read now to 4 kids and the vast majority of children's books are terrible. A few are evocative, imaginative, have memorable characters, interesting, thoughtful messages - but most of them are a waste of paper and time.
Most children's books - even the ones more deliberately planned than a ChatGPT textdump - are very lazily conceived and executed.

I'm saying that one of the easiest and probably most effective responses to this by publishers is to only use known sources e.g. existing authors and people they can vouch for. This would put up a massive barrier for AI-generated books, yes - as intended. But also puts up a massive, massive barrier for finding new _real_ authors, who don't have the connections and might have previously actually had a chance of being published.
