With apologies to Brian ...
I've always wanted to write a novel and self-publish on Amazon ("Wool" comes to mind). Although I believe I have a great plot, I know I don't have the writing skills.
So below ChatGPT article caught my eye. I would love to feed ChatGPT, story lines, characters, events, scenes etc. and have it general the book. I wonder how the forgers (?) below did it. I would pay for a piece of software that was "write a book with ChatGPT".
An author says AI is 'writing' unauthorized books being sold under her name on Amazon | CNN Business

An author is raising alarms this week after she found new books being sold on Amazon under her name — only she didn’t write them; they appear to have been generated by artificial intelligence.
Jane Friedman, who has authored multiple books and consulted about working in the writing and publishing industry, told CNN that an eagle-eyed reader looking for more of her work bought one of the fake titles on Amazon. The books had titles similar to the subjects she typically writes about, but the text read as if someone had used a generative AI model to imitate her style.
“When I started looking at these books, looking at the opening pages, looking at the bio, it was just obvious to me that it had been mostly, if not entirely, AI-generated … I have so much content available online for free, because I’ve been blogging forever, so it wouldn’t be hard to get an AI to mimic me” Friedman said.
With AI tools like ChatGPT now able to rapidly and cheaply pump out huge volumes of convincing text, some writers and authors have raised alarms about losing work to the new technology. Others have said they don’t want their work being used to train AI models, which could then be used to imitate them.
