I don't want to read content generated by agentic LLMs (referred to as "AI" in this context).
I can stick with authors I know who unequivocally state they don't use AI in creating their content but I want to find new authors as well.
I can check the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) roster (SFWA doesn't allow authors who use AI) but I'm curious if all y'all have a more comprehensive approach. Amazon seems to be flooded with generated content and it's difficult to figure out without reading it.
Thanks in advance!

I do not have any advice, but I will say if I ever accidentally read an AI created book and enjoyed it, I will end my life. I cannot think of a more embarrassing fate
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a way to filter it out, there’s no automated process advanced enough to tell definitively. So we are still relying on self-reporting, which is kind of like grabbing thin air with your bare hands as far as reliability.
Starting to notice actual gibberish for some authors names. Literal rubbish. “Anpdbbdb” type gibberish.
I also wish there was a way. I traded books with another author and I was fairly certain they used AI to write or rewrite parts of theirs. The e-book used AI images so that made me really suspect. I just couldn’t enjoy the book because of my suspicions.
That’s a scary thing as a writer too, how do I prove I don’t use it to write?
My only solution which isn’t really helpful is to only read content from before the massive increase in LLM usage
I generally don’t read self-published novels, so I guess all I have is hope that agents and editors are good at weeding it out
