Me, starting to read the story: "I bet this will be romance novels"

Me, after reading the story: "Yep...romance novels"

My two three thoughts are that even the sloppiest of AI slop is likely to be better than most bargain bin romance novels. Their prose has always been shit. They were full of spelling errors, plot holes and copy/paste duping where sometimes it was the same book with only the names of people and towns changed.

Second: I hate to admit it, but her method (outlined in the story) is solid. She also combines it with her publishing knowledge in order to best target her "books".

Third: This is unsustainable, and she knows it, which is why she is pivoting from the "slop slinger" grift to the "you too can be a slop slinger with my app and method" grift.

PS: She's not an author. She's a grifter.

    That's a really good point, actually. If this was a good method for writing stories people will actually buy and enjoy, she wouldn't tell anyone.
