Plagiarized books entirely written by an AI are nor far-fetched. Get ready for a shitty reality.

    Why would AI need to write a plagiarized book? Isn't that just a knock off?

    Because writing a knockoff book takes time and effort, and getting an AI to do it does not.

    The same question applies to many fields. Why get AI to write a plagiarized tweet or Reddit comment? It's a lot less effort than a book, yet both platforms are plagued with bot comments.
