Openly AI books on youtube 🤦‍♀️

A friend of mine said she had heard I had a book I was working on and could she read it? She’d love to help me out, offer any tips and ideas. No, she’s not an author. She offered, I did not ask.

I said sure, why not.

She got back to me this morning with a laundry list if issues, it needed more back story, more conflict, between characters, not just nature. My characters were too ‘nice’. The list went on and on. I have thick skin and take everything with a grain of salt, but it was still a lot.

Then she added in a couple of links I might follow to check out well written stories to get idea of how it should be done. The links looked pure AI. I followed them to youtube to an ai generated video, and an ai generated reading, of an ai generated story that is of course pure generic crap .

Then I sat and laughed and laughed.

We have a saying in the horse world not to take advice, or criticism, from someone you wouldn’t let ride your horse. I think it applies here. If this is her idea of a good story then I don’t think I’ll worry anymore about her critique.

She is a very sweet lady and meant well, she was trying to help. I admit it did worry that she saw so very many holes in my story. Until I read, listened to a little bit of, this stuff, to put it kindly, that she considers art…

Someone is making a lot of money off this page. Just wow. I thought people who bought ai generated books, or watch them on youtube just didn’t realize it was ai. Why would anyone listen to this junk on purpose! 🤦‍♀️😆 Shows what I know.
