Amazon Removes AI-Generated Books That Spoofed an Author's Byline
. At the time, the author said she had discovered around half a dozen books being sold with her name on them on the platform. Worse still, Friedman said phony books were being added to her official Goodreads page, the book review site owned by Amazon where many readers go to discover works by writers. Goodreads has also removed the titles, according to a company spokesperson.
Amazon declined to comment further when asked to elaborate on what particular rule or policy was violated that led to the AI-generated content being removed.
