At its Devices and Services event, Amazon announced that it’s bringing ambient art to new and existing Echo Show and Fire TV devices. What’s more, it can generate or alter images for you on the fly, right on your TV using voice commands.
Previously, the ambient art feature was only available on Fire TVs.
That’s ... impressive.
On September 6 Amazon said it was monitoring the use of generative AI by users of its Kindle Direct Publishing platform. Then Amazon announced an updated policy on the Kindle Direct Publishing forum Monday:
While we have not seen a spike in our publishing numbers, in order to help protect against abuse, we are lowering the volume limits we have in place on new title creations.
You can only self-publish three books a day. Amazon claims this will only affect a very small number of authors. If you are publishing that many books a day sans generative AI how is your brain not tired? That’s so much writing and I’m deeply impressed.
