There's a marked difference in having an author spend a week crapping out a cheap pulp novel vs having a text generator spit out 5000 in the same time period. Coupled with self publishing and automated stores, the market can be flooded with pure garbage in hours.

- Shish2k 3y agoI am curious why vouch for provenance rather than vouching for quality. In “mass-produced AI garbage” is the “AI” part a bigger problem than the “garbage” part?

- simbolit 3y agoNot really. There are a million novels now, of which 90% is self-published for a reason (no one wants to publish it, because it won't make any money). With a text generator, there are now 10min lion novels, of which 99% won't make any money. The book market has found methods to deal with the "99% is garbage" problem. This isn't new.
- falcolas 3y agoExcept for two things: One, AI creates a a 99.999% garbage situation. Which as anyone who deals with SLAs can tell you is a world apart from 99%. Two, Clarkesworld has announced quite clearly that the scale AI creates is not solvable using the old methods.
