370 romance novels under 21 pseudonyms and six-figure sums for "the author" - that's how many novels written by AI have been published by South African author Coral Hart since 2025, the Guardian writes.
Moreover, Hart does not hide the fact that he writes with AI. She gave an interview and told how it works. She says that she herself determines the plot concept, details of the characters and designs episode plans. It only takes 45 minutes for the AI to create a new novel.
After her confession, she began receiving death threats. Hart attributes this to the "artificial intelligence fear" of the literary world.
Let's summarize: Leo Tolstoy worked on the novel "War and Peace" for 6 years (some researchers talk about seven years). I rewrote the novel by hand 8 times, and some chapters 26 times. The collection of manuscripts of the novel is more than five thousand sheets. Many years of "ceasing work" went into the epic novel, which has been read for a century and a half.
We did not find Hart's novels in open access in Russian translation; They are mainly published in digital format through Amazon. Well, fine, we weren't too bothered.
Turns out I haven't read it - but am I condemning you?
But seriously, when an author publishes more books than he's likely read in his entire life, it's kind of on a conveyor belt.
