I don't know if AI books are or will be as good or better than human written, but to me this is the problem - "Even though artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, AI-made books are already flooding the market." There is no scarcity problem in books. There are already way more that I would enjoy reading than I will ever actually read. It's already tough to prioritize which ones to get to without having vastly more to sort through. And people _enjoy_ writing books. I don't want to support automating something away that people enjoy doing, is produced in abundance, and is very low cost to obtain already.

Seriously, we have a Haagen-bot[0] problem ("the robot that eats ice cream so you don't have to") widespread across the field where people are trying to figure out how they can get their piece of the new ML world.

Part of it is that people aren't thinking about what's actually scarce. Let alone what a world more optimized for people might be like.

Quoted for truth.
