AI-Generated Books are Tarnishing Authors’ Reputations

On today’s episode, Rachelle Hampton and Candice Lim are joined
by Jane Friedman, author of The Business of Being a
Writer and the publisher of Hot Sheet, a newsletter about
the publishing industry. The three discuss Friedman’s recent battle
with AI-generated books that were being published and sold under
her name on Amazon. Friedman published a blog about the saga titled
“I Would Rather See My Books Get Pirated Than This (Or: Why
Goodreads and Amazon are Becoming Dumpster Fires)” detailing the
dangers that the increasingly prolific practice presents to authors
and the publishing industry at large. This podcast is produced by
Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, Candice Lim and Rachelle
Hampton. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
