This is a big time doomer essay on AI generated books. I’m probably not going to read any AI generated books and I agree human writing and connection is important. But I also believe markets determine outcomes, so I’m not worried. https://matduggan.com/ai-is-gonna-kill-books/

shame, there's a big opportunity to transcend the media. imagine human passages with distilled community notes. imagine the greater ease of attribution. sure, authors that dgaf just take advantage of substrate others built, and buyers looking for commodity lit. are doing the same.

also, history rhymes hard. the writer indicates that artisanal text should maintain share of public consumption despite the public benefitting from replaceable parts. ironically, they missed the important point about the reader: even before the internet, we used critics to filter. now we have superhuman ones.

Yeah it’s a weak argument all around with the only salable point being that writer to reader connection means something. But I don’t think AI is going to destroy that.

100%, if dialogue is desirable, it will manifest. as described, that relationship will actually strengthen as the stakes of being marked as AI by AI skyrockets. derivative works will allow vast superficial exposure, but the experience of the original is irreplaceable.
