The Rise of AI-Generated Books
Research indicates that a growing number of books available online are generated by AI, illustrating a notable trend in the publishing industry. Specifically, data from a Dutch news magazine highlights that out of 323,000 titles reviewed, approximately 2% were identified as AI-generated. This figure has escalated dramatically from 0.1% prior to the emergence of chat GPT, reaching 4.2% as of April 2024. Interestingly, many of these AI-generated works received low ratings, often below two stars, raising concerns about their quality and the implications for human authors.
