    Last Christmas a friend of the family I was visiting bragged about her son who had an LLM spit out fantasy books that he was selling on amazon. As far as I can tell, he just prompted it “Write a fantasy book like The Witcher” and sold it without reading it. She excitedly told me “I looked into it, it isn’t plagiarism!”

    Sometimes I absently daydream about ruining the day for everyone and insisting on driving home the point that it very much is plagiarism.

      Godawful, just as worse and infectious as the MAGA mindset.

      Techbros call AI as “liberation”. It’s more like plunder to me.
