Hardly surprising. Ever since the barrier to production/publication/distribution was dropped to very low (15ish? years ago) the SNR on available books has been terrible. LLMs are making the 1st part even lower effort, at least for trash, so the noise is going to increase by an order of magnitude at least. Current discoverability outside people-you-actually know seems to be in a nosedive, so it's hard to see this getting better any time soon.
