Apologies for emotionally downvoting this on instinct at first, it’s important book news, even if it’s awful news.

This is going to be a dumpster fire.
Not even getting into the ethics that they’re not letting authors opt, so many of these answer *will* include spoilers or just inaccurate information.
I’m not opposed to using AI as a starting point but humans need to, bare minimum, be fact checking.

I just noticed this today when I accidentally highlighted a passage in my book. I hate it so much.

I just want buttons like the old models and easy access to font changes instead of 3 or 4 clicks. I don’t need AI.

Why is AI so prevalent when it sucks? Like it doesn’t even work well half the time.

Can’t remember the last time I had a piece of tech get an update and it actually improve anything. As soon as I got my kindle it went into airplane mode and wont ever come out of it.
