AI-generated books are flooding the lock screens of some Kindles.
Futurism reports that some Kindle users are seeing ads for AI-generated kids books, including clear ripoffs of existing classics. None of the books — including the laughably bad Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: The Haunted House — appear to be popular, though it’s unclear whether sellers manipulated Amazon’s algorithms or the retailer itself was involved.
Amazon has since removed the AI-generated books Futurism identified, with an Amazon spokesperson stating that all books “must adhere to our content guidelines, regardless of how the content was created.”
