I often wonder about the stuff I write, what becomes of it. It's a little disheartening since I love crafting it for best effect... But especially with computer books for beginners, people prefer to ask AI for the answers instead of studying.

I also just bought 6 sci-fi books from an author I'd never heard of for cheap. I love supporting indy authors, the price was right, and they sold their books directly from the website, no middlemen and no DRM. Perfect.

But was the author real? I actually did a bunch of research to find out their history and all that before pulling the trigger. I really don't want to read AI stories. But I can see a future where the vast majority don't care. Imagine an endless episode of Survivor or a soap opera, completely generated 24x7 forever. You know that shit would be massive.

And there might only be a fringe that seeks human-generated content for the humanity of it.

Lol.. I wanted "DRM". But it's been a long day.
