Amazon and Goodreads must take steps to combat the flood of AI-generated content that will mislead readers and damage author reputations.

tl;dr Books, most likely generated by an LLM, were being sold on Amazon under Jane Friedman’s name.  The same books were added to her Goodreads profile.  Amazon initially refused to remove the books.  If it’s happening to her, it’s definitely happening to other authors.

    This is crazy. It’s one thing for Amazon to be filled with AI nonsense books but it’s quite another for them to have a real author’s name attached to them without their knowledge.
