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.

@[email protected] that’s an edge case. The vast majority of the “3 books a day” publishers will be chat GPT crap
@[email protected] @[email protected] You could probably bring it down to 1 book/week and handle more than that with a human review, if you where interested in quality. But I doubt Amazon cares. Many bad books might make for more sales short-term.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Amazon is a grocery store, not a bookstore. Books haven't been their main focus for more than 20 years now. Under Bezos they took some residual care to avoid reputational damage, but the new CEO doesn't give a shit, he's all about the quarterly bottom line.
