      I bought one the other day that wasn’t even that, it was literally translated by Google translate. It was so bad, I had to translate the French text word-for-word into English before it made sense.

        In fairness, crumby books can hardly be blamed on AI. To quote my mother, “That train’s left the station.”

        Like, the AI slop ones will probably have better writing, sadly.

          You can absolutely blame AI for the explosion in slop books. Just because a bad thing happened before AI doesn’t mean it wasn’t made much worse by it.
