So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.
I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.
Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

Black balled.
Já vi canais no YouTube ensinando como fazer livros pra vender na Amazon.
Não tem uma coisa boa sobre IA
It's so darkly hilarious and disheartening all at once.
But like... Small grammar errors that are easy to miss.
How can you POSSIBLY miss this?? Says a lot about people using ai.
Not everything in the world is, though! There's still some good out there. Like...pizza? Pizza is good.
And theres DOGGOS! And CATS!
AND PENGUINS!!!

...mind, I'm not necessarily saying you *should* believe them XD
Don't these people have editors?
Disgusting behavior.
Blurb from one site: "Your first reader is waiting
Get first-person insights into every hook, highlight, and hesitation straight from your Virtual Beta Reader—delivered in minutes."

Let the person get caught being a fraud
I'll be keeping up that good work
What even is that writing? Regardless which parts are autogenerated, all of it is pretty hilariously awkward.
Are these published writers?
LoL.
My point is, your confidence in those books not *also* being written with AI should be vastly below 100%.
Just because they are edited and don't contain AI responses in the text doesn't mean they weren't written using AI.
One counterexample (what you are asking for) does prove my side.
Your side is impossible to verify because you would have to know with 100% certainty that every book wasn't produced using AI.
AI is quite clearly destroying that trust (inevitably).
Pandora's box has been opened.
I tend to find books I like by browsing as I always have and if I enjoy an author's work will just read all of it.
*shrug*
To each their own.
I'm just saying you can't trust based on indie/non-indie.
It’s like…if they can’t even be bothered to check, what’s the point? Why cheat if they don’t care? This is like buying a statue to send to a sculpture contest and not bothering to remove the store pricetag.
Professors who are all about showing them the right way to use AI don’t recognize that human beings are often just lazy. In my experience, it’s not students wanting to do better; it’s students wanting to be done so they can get back to TikTok.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge
🤪
...well, in a just world it should be as reputation-destroying as an evidence-backed plagiarism charge.
Or for a chatbot to insert a fake prompt in response to being asked to write in the style of Lena McDonald.
I started working on The Sherwood Gambit before Black Flag, and it's still not done.
I still wouldn't use ChatGPT to do my writing for me, not only because of the ethics, but the lack of any sense of accomplishment.
its perfect if all u wanna do is churn out trashy novels
- Stringer Bell, probably
At least a ghost writer gets paid 😒
They don't appreciate the job of truly being a writer, much less the job of, or the need for, an editor.
Ai bros are that level of cynical grifter.
It's bitterly laughable. These people aren't writers, and the people who paid for those 'books' deserve better.
I’d rather staple live wasps to my nether regions than outsource a single line of it to Plagiarism Clippy.
AI is a travesty on every front.
Also, yeah, downright weird definitely covers it. 🤣 It can be painful & glorious, too.
And my style definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's unique and *mine*.
I can recognize my own stuff.
Even told my editor one change he wanted for my debut just 'didn't sound like me'.
While to the point, it fails to convey the correct outrage at the authors leaving AI prompts in their work. Instead try:
I can't believe anyone would dare even pretend to be an author while leaving a an unfeeling machine to do their work for them.
KC Crowne released 174 novels on Amazon since 2021.
KC Crowne:
Silver Fox Daddies (older man romance)
1. Doctor Daddy
2. Taboo Daddy
3. Daddy's Best Friend
4. Daddy's Law
5. My Ex-Boyfriend's Dad
6. Daddy's Girl
*83* books listed all like this. Quality!

"Objection stands."
feels relevant here…
I don’t get salty about actual authors being more successful than me but
And I mean, if these kučke had just READ THROUGH THEIR AI SLOP and taken out the prompts, they might not have been caught! Like, not even the most minimal amount of effort!
I can’t imagine caring that little.
It’s just another hustle to some people. We all need money but at what point are you just funding a pointless, empty existence
Just... bust them all, embarrass them, demonetize them, at least partially.
I don't even have words. As a writer myself, I wouldn't even begin to think about ChatGPT. It wouldn't be me anymore. Maybe my writing is shit but at least I know I wrote every word...
Also there are at least a few block lists for "anti AI haters" or whatever, I've landed myself on a few & gotten a lot of blocks out of it. So there definitely are defenders and users here...
Proud of my participation there.
Did anybody think a human had that output?
I don’t know Crowne, so maybe that’s more common with their genre. Seems like an easy tell though?
Supposedly this person is turning out original literary content faster than I could type out her books if they were read to me quickly over a headset.
So no, this person is not a writer. They are a prompter.
Case closed.

I'm talking about literally the same books, that just interchange names, locations, and the tropes. They're all the same book, with the same style, with the same sentence structure, with the same number of sentences per paragraph.
