I made a rule for myself to read only books published before 2022 because I worry that many newer books may be affected by generative AI

Well I hear a lot of horror stories related to the book industry and generative AI. Some new books use a lot of generative AI content and some authors publish more than 100+ books in a year. Because of this it is becoming harder to tell which books are carefully written by humans. I worry that the overall quality of new books may decline if ai generated content is used excessively. That is one reason why I prefer reading older books. It is safe to say that older books are crafted from ideas by humans not ai and I love it that way. I love the originality and uniqueness of every human writer.
