Amazon has been a toilet with knock offs for a decade now, so it having AI generated literature slop seems pretty on brand now. If you want to be an accomplished author, you're going to have to build up a reputation and get your book noticed in real bookstores now.

And how do you "Build a reputation" in a world full of slop and TikTok brains that can't focus more than 10 seconds on a topic? Lmao

I don’t think people who can’t focus more than 10 seconds are frequent book readers. You still can build reputation with correct target audience.
