AI-Generated Book Knockoffs Raise Concerns Over Copyright Infringement
- AI-generated book summaries and imitations are flooding Amazon, often using real authors' titles and concepts without permission
- Pioneering AI researcher Melanie Mitchell found an AI knock-off of her book that copied her title and ideas in awkward language
- The book appeared to be 99% AI-generated according to analysis and was taken down after Mitchell complained to Amazon
- Dozens of summaries have appeared for famous AI researcher Fei-Fei Li's new memoir, many explicitly saying they summarize her book
- The legal status of these AI summaries is questionable, with some experts saying simply summarizing a book could constitute copyright infringement
