Arabian Nights Reimagined . . . by ChatGPT (or equivalent generative A.I. large language model.)
At least it's on a free promotion at the moment, so if you want a taste of what A.I. "writing" is like, you can try for yourself at no cost. It's certainly not worth spending a penny on. Of course since the creator does not disclose they are using A.I., although every single piece of it—the cover "art", the text, the blurb, the author self-accolades—stinks of it if you're remotely familiar with A.I.-generated writing, it can only be an attempt to trick you into buying any other of their "books". Unfortunately, it's working to some degree, because without a critical eye the "writing" seems normal, at least in small doses. I could go into all kinds of critique about this book's specific flaws but I don't see why I should put more effort into a review, since all the creator did was write some A.I. prompts, paste it up with incorrect text formatting for fiction, and attempt to market it, then repeat the same to churn out three of these "books" every week for months on end.
