When artificial intelligence overwhelms self-publishing and threatens literary creation

The book "C’était ça ou mourir" by Thélyson Orélien highlights the growing threat of generative AI to literature, particularly in self-publishing. This issue has been exacerbated by the rise of AI-generated texts since the launch of the first chatbot in November 2022. The self-publishing landscape lacks entry filters, allowing for a surge in AI-generated content. Many self-published authors view writing as a hobby, while others see it as a means to earn money. Platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing promote quick financial gains, emphasizing the commercial value of content over literary quality.
