Apparently the book is written by a human?

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 21 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Nah, I'm pretty skeptical. The authors website has like 150-200 book titles. Either someone using AI to pump them out, or several authors publishing under the same name.

I can dump out 10k words of smut in a week of evenings. If you don't care about quality and can type 60wpm, a 30k word book will only take 500 minutes. ~9 hours.

Or it's a slop cannon, like you said.

I could see it either way.

Romance authors can pump out a book crazy fast, 4 months on average says a quick search, and I wouldn't doubt there are ones who can write them even faster, if they don't edit.

Yeah but they still prompted this.
