Well well well. Seems a nice payday to WRITE a book using AI, and sell it. It doesn't need to be good. In fact it should be terrible. That way people will learn to STOP TRUSTING AI TO RECCOMEND THINGS FOR THEM!!!
i always catch recommendations from the help desk librarians. Some of the best books I've read I'd never have picked up otherwise. We were chatting about it and they decided to plug in the books I gave good feedback for, just to see.
Seems like a good response to be honest- patron asks for non existent book, librarian informs them it doesnt exist, patron persists, librarian asks AI to write a 100page book with the requested title, then sends the patron the output.

Yeah. We would be too, if our entire career was the antithesis of the current regime. 🥹🙇🏼♂️

At my libraries, I’ve really only gotten requests for fake dvds. They see pirates selling them on Amazon, or whatever, then request that we buy them.

It was a comical five minutes.

Yeah but how much RAM did those librarians eat up?

This is one reason LLMs can’t replace search engines.

Oh but they try, and people for some reason still mostly use them as search engines.
