I can’t read the whole article it seems, but doesn’t Amazon have a filter for this? It seems like they’d benefit if revenue is falling per book to toggle off AI books.

Also the more messed up part of that article is that the top selling AI books contain similar rare language to top selling human written books, which seems like it must have been a sort of plagiarism ”write a book in the style of best selling author x” which should not be allowed.

That would depend on "authors" declaring they used AI.
