Last Christmas a friend of the family I was visiting bragged about her son who had an LLM spit out fantasy books that he was selling on amazon. As far as I can tell, he just prompted it “Write a fantasy book like The Witcher” and sold it without reading it. She excitedly told me “I looked into it, it isn’t plagiarism!”

Sometimes I absently daydream about ruining the day for everyone and insisting on driving home the point that it very much is plagiarism.
