    Ok but why on Science Memes? I'm also confused, not downvoting but wondering wtf why here.

    Waiting with baited breath for Lemmy community to turn this into a science meme

    And people say AI generated books are awful slop. This is pure artistry!

    Apparently the book is written by a human?

    Nah, I'm pretty skeptical. The authors website has like 150-200 book titles. Either someone using AI to pump them out, or several authors publishing under the same name.

    I can dump out 10k words of smut in a week of evenings. If you don't care about quality and can type 60wpm, a 30k word book will only take 500 minutes. ~9 hours.

    Or it's a slop cannon, like you said.

    I could see it either way.

    I went to my local bookshop the other day to look for The Hobbit and there was not even the slightest shadow of Tolkien anywhere.

    Instead the entire English fiction section was wall to wall shit like this. Fantasy porn for women.

    I mean, I know that this particular "creation" is AI, but even the human-made fantasy/sci-fi porn is so bad, lifeless and paint by numbers the same story over and over, that it might as well be AI.

    It is a particularly dystopian experience to step into a modern day book shop and all fantasy literature is just shit like this.

    I'm part of the problem because I spent a good number of years not really buying and reading books and most books I interacted with were audiobooks when I was out on walks.

    But genuinely, fuck this is sad. Bookshops practically have turned into bored housemom shops. Fantasy porn, cook books and the occasional biography about a topical famous person whom women would find interesting.

    The kids section is hidden away in the back of the store and there's seemingly no incentive for men to visit the shop. Probably because men generally don't read anymore. I know one man around my age who reads. One.

    And us women don't really read either, but those who do, read fantasy porn Dx

    A book advertisement is not a science meme.

    i thought it was fake science fiction book that sounds absolutely awful and that's why it's here.

    i didn't realize it was an actual book.

    ...but it does in fact still sound hilarious.
