Image description: The image shows a Kindle e-reader displaying a page of text, likely from a book, with a portion of the text visible in a non-English language. Overlaid on the image are two text boxes with stylized red backgrounds and white lettering. The top text box says, "To combat chatGPT generated books on the kindle store, Amazon only allows users to publish 3 books ~per day." The second text box sarcastically says, "You know, a totally normal human output," accompanied by a rolling eyes emoji. There is also a graphic of a skeletal hand with a pink hue pointing towards the text boxes, adding emphasis to the message being conveyed about the volume of publication and questioning its normalcy.

Chuck tingle.
Legit though, if I was a better typist, didn’t care about editing, and was willing to put out utter shit, I could crank out a book a week.
I have done the rough outline of a novel in a day. One.
That being said, if I were to use amazon to sell them, I have three complete novels and a novella. So I would likely have to split them up over two days, and that would be horrible.
No human is going to be submitting three a day every day for long, unless they’ve been writing for decades.
