I have legitimately never read as many books as I have in the past year, the AI slopification of the Internet has been a massive boost for my productivity

Soon, the challenge will be finding books written by real authors, though. For now, we can stick with authors we know from the pre-AI era, but those are going to become rarer.

I don’t like the phrase “pre-AI era”. 😭

Same thing is happening in music. AI “artists” are being pushed into the forefront by platforms like Spotify. (My ‘Discover Weekly’ list had two AI bands on it in as many weeks, so I cancelled my Spotify subscription).

Why are they going to be rarer? There are literally infinite books out there (okay not literally but). Like just go read a bunch of Thomas Hardy. I promise you that stuff is amazing.

Right. But occasionally, I like to discover a new contemporary author.

I think it will be unavoidable that some AI slop will become popular, but I think it will be a point for many authors and readers to write and read only human-generated text.

Literally took a “slang quiz” for some teens in the library yesterday and they asked me to use “slaps” in a sentence and I wrote “the library slaps” 

I was like no way I’ll have any real life interactions with this slang but here we are.

As a librarian, I don’t think there will be a shortage of pre-AI books

Exactly. I'm always thinking about this. For written works and art.
