I’m not disagreeing with you. What I’m saying is that the problem is not the existence of AI-generated books, it’s the ability to sort through books for ones you’re likely to enjoy.

The book markets were already flooded with junk long before the latest round of AI came along. If anything the junk was worse before because the “AI” generating it was worse - it was just pasting together Wikipedia articles and whatnot. Or just plain badly written human-generated stuff, there’s no end to that out there either.
