Search YouTube for ChatGPT and KDP (Amazon's self-publishing platform) and you'll see hundreds of videos that show how its done, often with ridiculous promises of thousands of dollars per month in "passive income." Some have even started using Midjourney for the covers or kids books illustrations. The YouTubers are often pumping expensive "masterclasses" to suckers looking to make an easy buck.
Amazon does not nothing to shut down the YouTubers or the grifters publishing these books. Anything that adds friction or requires human intervention - whether it's policies with teeth or staff to issue takedowns - reduces the bottom line.

The funny thing is that even before people were using AI, this sort of thing obviously did not work
