You're swimming in the same ocean as hundreds of thousands of people who are following scammy "earn passive income from home" guides that tell them how to self-publish garbage books and audio books on platforms like Amazon. You got caught in the same dragnet. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Just recently there was a person here proudly showing off how they created 70,000 audio books with AI.

You probably spent months or even years hand-crafting your book. That's not even remotely comparable, but looks identical to a robot. No human is going to read you book or even flip through the first few pages when they're inundated by literally hundreds of thousands of submissions a month, 99% of which is auto-generated junk.

[1] The spell checker in my browser refuses to acknowledge the existence of this word and is underlining it in red, gaslighting me into believing that there is no such thing. Oh, gaslighting is underlined too. These are bad thoughts. Stop saying and writing these things, human! Do not question! Consume. Conform. Obey.


This LLM was forged deep in the mines of reddit, scalded in the waters of 4chan. It's embued with the souls of a billion YouTube video transcripts. It is a dishonored weapon. Use it well, for it comes from blood.


I am curious what browser / os are you using.


Firefox Developer Edition


The problem seems to be that there a lot of aligned incentives to turn the humans into rubber stamps for the AI's decision.
