A great article from @JaneFriedman on the plague of AI-created garbage books overwhelming Amazon, & what authors can do (maybe) if fraudulent work appears under their name #WritingCommunity #indieauthors #ArtificalIntelligence https://hotsheetpub.com/2023/08/imho-what-remedies-do-authors-have-when-fraudulent-work-appears-on-amazon/?mc_cid=18269af3fa&mc_eid=e7b5beaadb
Scientific publishing came up with the ORCID iD a while ago — mostly for name changes and name collisions before impersonations, I believe. But it would be ONE step to help with this — Amazon would have to use and respect it, of course, sigh.
