Kindle users complain about AI book ads
Some owners of Amazon Kindle devices that have ads on the lock screen are facing a problem - instead of the usual book suggestions, they see ads for works generated by artificial intelligence.
Here's What We Know
Many of these books are reportedly copies of existing titles and are also of little popularity.
This problem, which appeared several months ago, has led to dissatisfaction among users who have expressed their complaints on social media. Among the images of advertising materials, there are many copies of books similar in content to the real ones.
A book with an AI cover and literally describing AI in the book description is for sale in the Kindle store?

After the first report by Futurism, Amazon responded to the situation and announced the removal of several books generated by artificial intelligence from the ad queue. Amazon also reminds that all books sold on their store must meet content standards.
AI will NEVER be as good as humans at generating insane Kindle ebook ads https://t.co/iNPvcm8OS5 pic.twitter.com/QmaE9QuZ7e

Amazon allows the creation of content created by artificial intelligence, but requires authors to notify the company. Also, last year, Amazon limited the number of self-published books to prevent the flow of such content from exceeding the flow.
