Today I received an irresistible offer.

A publisher claims to have staff writers to write a book for me, and because I am an unknown author, they will also market the book I did not write for me. All I have to do is loan them my name and suggest a topic.

I smell #ChatGPT.

michi,

@paezha this reminds of the issue amazon is facing at the moment: people write crappy books using only ChatGPT and then self-pushing on their website. Amazon is flooded with those.

@michi

Next: ChatGPT reviews books written by ChatGPT. Or maybe this is happening already?

@paezha
"you will have complete control" because you'll rewrite the whole 1300 pages because the AI we use thinks you discovered the electron, the pancreas, and insulin while you headed the WHO from 1960 through to 2020.
And it's been reading the emails about your divorces.

The AI costs a lot to feed and if you don't accept our terms then we will be forced to defray our costs and publish "Dr LoveStick and the PeePee emails".

    I did not find out how much this was going to cost me, because my response was borrowed from @retr0id

    @paezha Wow this is so obviously stinky.

    @xibee

    Wonder how many worthless books will be published in the next few years using this one of a kind solution to the hunger for recognition.

    @paezha What’s puzzling is the perpetrator picked a scientist community as a pool for duping. Guy, they’re the SMART ones. You want the dumb ones, yes?

    Maybe he thought ego stroking was just strong enough.

    @xibee

    Alas, there are all sorts of perverse incentives for mediocre scientists to go for something like this.

    otoha_miyamoto,

    @paezha I also smell a lot of passive-aggressive inflections in this email's contents. Like, A LOT.

    @otoha_miyamoto

    Right? "Don't be an unrecognized muppet, cheat instead", etc.

    otoha_miyamoto,

    @paezha yeah, it's disgusting.

    @paezha Even the name of the person supposedly sending the email sounds made up. And returns no results for such a person working in publishing. Someone in publishing who's not on LinkedIn? Has no Twitter or Facebook account?
