Imaging if people returned all the defective junk they got from Temu or Amazon. If the price is low enough people aren't returning anything, it's simply not worth the hassle and they'll accept that they got swindled.

For books I'm not sure, assuming that the author actually have a story to tell, but is just lacking the skills to write a book, I don't know that I think you can justify calling it a grift when they're trying to write that book using AI. 370 books however.... Is she really that imaginative?

Some people really are that imaginative, and this author has been putting out successful works for many years before she started using AI.
