npub1k4eazeauq0utg93pl3jwrt7mts4892hkv3r973peah0l9z60dkwqhv4d28 (npub1k4e…4d28) You're right that AI will mess stuff up, but I view it as likely to screw up distribution/marketing, not writing/publishing. There will be AI-generated crap all over the walls and ceiling and some of it will be marketed effectively and it'll suck the oxygen out of the room for real writers, but it'll suck hardest for self-pub/small press—big publishing imprints and big name authors at least have name recognition. Trouble is, to Amazon, books are as fungible as market produce.
