Yes, we're still publishing AI books. Whoever asked for this? Who wants to pay for or spend their time reading such a thing? Of course, the vast majority of AI books don't openly state that's what they are. It's up to readers who frequent online book marketplaces to educate themselves on the (usually very obvious) signs that a book is the product of generative AI.

If you WANT to read an A.I. book for some reason, here are a few to choose from.

********

The intention of this list is to identify books that show strong indications of generative AI use in their creation, from cover images to the writing itself. There are well-established frequent common denominators in AI books, including use of AI image generators and stereotypical text patterns; these are the basis for identifying a book as AI generated or "AI slop." This is to alert readers who do not want to unintentionally encounter AI is book spaces. If users are comfortable with generative AI use in the books they might choose, labelling books like this will not deter them.

Before adding a book to this list, please be sure you are familiar with the output of generative AI when it comes to book content. If you're not already well-versed, read some established AI books to learn the patterns, and see collections of AI-generated images (e.g. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...) to familiarize yourself with the look of such things. One potentially useful guide to spotting typical AI writing is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped.... Any books voted here certainly must have been published after the public release of generative AI tools; the onslaught of AI slop books mostly started only late 2023, and ChatGPT's image generator, which dominates AI book illustration since its release, launched at the end of March 2024.

If an author objects to a book's inclusion on this list and genuinely did not use generative AI in any way, shape, or form, they can comment here and users may re-examine the book in question. Keep in mind: if it walks and talks and quacks like a duck .... "AI generated" in this case refers to any output that is typical of generative AI, no matter how much the publisher may believe they contributed to the work through complex AI prompting. And if your book reproduces stereotypical patterns at a frequency that is usually only seen in AI slop, you might want to think about that.
