Remind you of some entire genres of book?
That’s right, business and self-help books!
Any of these with an author who’s got actual accomplishments and money before writing the book was almost certainly already ghostwritten from an outline (and so are lots of other books, you’d be surprised, it’s not just these genres). Successful CEOs or people you’ve heard of generally don’t write their own books. Often, they’re terrible writers, and even if they’re not, writing is time-consuming and as with everything else that actually creates something they prefer to pay someone else to do it.
As of last year new books in that category are written by AI and edited by one or more humans—with each editor doing just two or three chapters, you can finish one of these books in a month or less.

- vundercind 2y agoIt’s fortunate we have mountains of human-written books, film, television, radio programs, music, and video games from Before AI. Just the good stuff could occupy several lifetimes. Pity we killed most of the good used book stores already, though. Also, shame about journalism and maybe also democracy. That’s too bad.
