    When AI Speaks | When Authors Lie About Income
    Apr 24 2023
    On this episode of Author News Weekly, we discuss the challenges indie authors face when it comes to reporting sales and income. We explore the trustworthiness of self-reported income and how it can affect financial integrity. Additionally, we touch on the concerns surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and how it impacts the job market. We also discuss the use of AI-generated voices and its potential to spread false information. Finally, we address the idea that AI-generated literature is on the horizon and how authors can use AI tools to improve the quality and speed of their book production while maintaining professionalism.

    It Makes No Censorship! | Censortivity Readers
    Apr 10 2023
    In light of recent censorship concerns, many are taking a closer look at the work of beloved children's author Roald Dahl. Dahl's books have come under fire for their insensitive and sometimes violent content. ChatGPT, a startup that uses artificial intelligence to generate e-books, has launched on Amazon. The company's goal is to create realistic, well-written stories that can be produced quickly and cheaply. A concerning trend in the publishing industry is the increasing use of sensitivity readers. Sensitivity readers are hired to flag potentially offensive content in books before they are published. Facebook has come under fire for censoring authors and disappearing their posts. The company has been accused of censoring conservative voices and stifling free speech. Don't quit social media just stop using it. Authors should consider the benefits of social media, such as connecting with readers and building an audience, but be aware of the negative effects it can have on their mental health. - https://www.theguardian.com/books/commentisfree/2023/mar/09/roald-dahl-censorship-sensitivity-readers-books - https://www.reuters.com/technology/chatgpt-launches-boom-ai-written-e-books-amazon-2023-02-21/ - http://neil-clarke.com/a-concerning-trend/ - https://author.amazon.com/help/GA4B2P8YR6H9DCA3 - https://www.authorecosystem.com/p/facebook-disappeared-me - https://indestructibleauthor.com/dont-quit-social-media-just-stop-using-it/
