When I worked in advertising, I slowly realized that their ultimate final form was to create ads that didn’t look like or have to be disclosed as ads.

I’m starting to wonder if the same principle applies to AI: that the ultimate form of this technology, applied broadly, is to perpetuate fraud that is too costly or minor to judiciously police.

> whether it is written with AI seems an unimportant detail compared to being a deliberate attempt to use the author's name and likeness and book title to sell a different product.

I think it’s an important detail insofar as AI makes it very easy to do this at scale with minimal effort. Surely there would be less slop in the Amazon store if LLMs didn’t exist.
