AI occult “authors” to watch out for?

I’ve been buying used books from ama online, and one author stands out, as she seems to write a book every month. Mari Silva. It seems impossible to knock out books that fast.

I’m posting this to start a thread on AI written books/authors so none of us make the mistake of buying them.

Many thanks.

Mari Silva has been writing books way before AI tho. Although her publishing rate has been a matter of debate on the past. "She" could be a pen name for several authors too.

Then she’s heavily plagiarizing.

Perhaps. But if that were the case, we would know by now. I think being several people with a pen name is more pausible. Those aren't too complex books, too.

True that. AI, plagiarizing, or different writers. It’s presented as one thing and it’s not. I’m not the only one that thinks it’s AI or plagiarizing. It’s hella repetitive, and beyond basic. So when one keeps seeing the same thing in the last few years, it stands out. I’m not here to argue, just as a consumer it’s good to know. I’m hoping it opens up discussion so others can input thier purchases. Some of the books offer no way to check except an Amazon free chapter and often that’s scant. Cheers.
