Okay, question: how do they KNOW that? (And, why do I keep having to ask this question?)

Every article I have seen, thus far, every one, the Pronouncement of the Fakes, is the opinion of some author who's sure that these X books or those Y books or that there Book Z written by Fred Jones Xi, is "AI." "You can tell." Etc.

One woman--who shan't be named by me--is the leader of the entire BURN THE WITCH movement, and she's been quoted all over social media, benefitting all of us with her infinite experience and wisdom, about how this or that book is "AI." Doesn't work for Amazon; doesn't know the authors, doesn't know anything other than "the books are so bad they MUST BE AI."

Now, I said this in the early part of this convo and I'll say it again now, but in every single instance in which *I* have investigated, I'm actually pretty damned sure that the alleged AI fakes--are not. They are written in a third language, by someone with zero knowledge or experience at writing, half the time some alleged "how-to" of this or that (brewing craft beer, let's say), and then "translated" using Google Translate or worse and so on. The result? The same shitty books that I've seen now, on KDP, without any benefit of AI, for the last 15, coming up on 16 years.

Where's the proof? Where is her proof, that these 71 books are "fakes," please????? And if zero proof exists, other than her opinion (did she READ those 71 effing books, mind you?), why the hell would we repeat that drivel?
