After reading that, I checked up on my mother, who is an author. No AI-generated books, but for some reason, Amazon is selling a copy of a 10-page xeroxed journal put out by the students of her graduate school in 1968. She has no idea what she wrote in it and it's not really worth buying (if I really want to see it, the university has a copy in their library). But what a bizarre find on Amazon.
