Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gnostic Goblin" data-source="post: 9528672" data-attributes="member: 7048243">Recently I have been uploading products to Kindle and amazon print-on-demand.I will not shamelessly advertise them in this post as it is off-topic. When you upload pdf's to kindle, there are 3 screens to do with the manuscript. They all have check-boxes and data-entry to instruct Amazon how to list it. People gamble this with the ratings, to the extent Amazon recently changes the way its algorithm works, they simplified it.A rule relevant for games applies here: "The more complicated any system, the more open it is for manipulation." The first of the three screens asks; Is AI used in the manuscript?  Y/N Is AI used in the illustrations (interior/book cover)? Y/N How much AI is used? (not much, a considerable amount, all of it). From experimentation I have been going back and forth in these three screens at various stages, tweaking things. Instructing it whether AI has been used at all is one of the tweakables, even after the book has been launched and cleared. It takes (up to) 72 hours for Amazon to decide if they accept it or not and (up to) 72 hours more to process it if they do. What I cannot answer to you is if Kindle remembers that a book was AI even if you change your mind. Sorry about that. I did not upload AI content to it. Recently I have been part of a writers group which has splintered away from NaNoWriMo (National November Writers Movement) after BigTech bought out NaNoWriMo to use it to promote AI in literature. The splinter group I mentioned is somewhat against that, being as it is we have actual real life human writers skills developed over decades of studying and practising the art. I must confess I have dabbled with a few AI for writing to 'know thy enemy' -LaoTzu. I discovered its a mixed bag. Two people I spoke with got ChatGPT to write the same story, independently of each other, it is only by coincidence that working as an editor for the writers group I mentioned, I came across that. Hope this is interesting if not particularly useful.</blockquote>
