Probably referring to Amazon being absolutely inundated with junk books written by ai. It's flooded with them. An avalanche of garbage. Like good luck ever writing something and it organically gaining any sort of following without a sponsor to spread awareness or to boost sales to get you to a spot on the list with some visibility.
Yup. The top spots are absolutely flooded with AI garbage and it is nigh impossible to have any meaningful visibility. In a related issue, there are writers getting scammed by 'artists' submitting AI artwork for their commissioned covers which subsequently fucks the copyrights with severe cost to reprint all of the books. Shit is fucked for anyone in any creative field right now.
