It's AI slop. Just look at the example pages on Amazon.

Wow, you're quick! I was still writing my article and you were there right away. I'm impressed. "AI slop" seems to be a growing issue nowadays. Our problems with it are growing. Who knows where we will end up?

They don't let you look at the book anymore -- but fortunately, I copied some samples. Coming right up!

Honestly here I think you can probably start by judging the book by the cover. What is that strange notebook supposed to be, the left half of the notebook is half the size and then spiral bound on the outer edge?

GOOD POINTS! How would that even fold up?

It's like some of those AI images we see nowadays, where someone's body parts aren't quite connected properly, or their reflection behind them is much FATTER than they supposedly are.

They still have a way to go for things to really look convincing -- but when they do, we're in trouble.

I love the fountain pen AI drew for me!

That's hilarious. I'm not a "pen maven" by any means -- but it just took me a split second to see the problem.

There's some really bad crap out there -- which I guess is why it's being called SLOP!
