How to make 'books' and money without writing a single line!

  The items on this page used to present items coming from WIKIPEDIA articles.
  But since 2023 and the rising of ChatGPT, it is now very easy for unscrupulous people, from a few pertinent prompts, to get fake books on any subject without any effort.
  So there are now on this page two categories of what pretends to be a book but is not:

I. THE WIKIPEDIA PRINTS,
II. THE A.I. GENERATED BOOKS.

I. THE WIKIPEDIA PRINTS:

  Though they have a cover and pages, these items are, according to us, not really books: they are actually just printouts of Wikipedia articles, taken -not to say stolen- on a free web site and sold at high prices on the Internet: an original way to make money by using other people's work... The authors of Wikipedia have to make searches to write their articles, while the pirates just make a copy/paste operation, print out and sell the result as a new "book"!

  Sometimes, to fool the customers even more and make them look like a 'real' book, an author's name is mentioned on the cover: just search for these 'authors' on the Internet and you will see that they have 'written' books on a vast amount of subjects... Actually, they know as much on everything as Wikipedia does!
  Some publications do not even hesitate to use names of famous authors, such as "S. King", or "Arthur Miller"!

  Most of these print outs are in English language, but they also exist in French, German, Spanish... why not, they are so easy to make... 

  'If you feel that doing a free search on Wikipedia is not worth your time compared to paying someone to print out Wikipedia articles for you, then these books may be of interest.' (www.goodreads.com)

  HOW TO RECOGNIZE THEM? Here are some of the names used by Pirate editors : @LPHASCRIPT PUBLISHING, BETASCRIPT PUBLISHING, BOOKS LLC, BOOKVICA PUBLISHING, HEPHAESTUS BOOKS, CREATESPACE INDEPENDANT PUBLISHING (this is a free Internet publisher frequently used by pirates).
   These "authors" are extremely suspects: "Jacob Anderson", "Frederic P. Miller, Agnes F. Vandome, John McBrewster", "Gabrielle Dantz ", "Jesse Russell and Ronald Cohn", "Dhirubbai Patel", "Philippe Valentin Giffard", "Lambert M. Surhone, Mariam T. Tennoe, Susan F. Henssonow", "Christian Boniman", and even "S. King" or "Arthur Miller" (of course nothing to see with the two famous authors).

  Here is how they look like:

Thank you to Knut Högvall and Jürgen Wasser.

    "The 'authors' have done on Wikipedias articles a search-and-replace on certain words and phrases to prevent the text to be flagged in a comparison search: that makes it read as written by a dude sky high on LSD". 
   These are printed-on-demand paperbacks, but there are more kindles with the same title, not presented here.
In these 'exchange words for synonyms' Wikipedia rip-offs cashing in on Dylan's new book, "Bob Dylan" becomes "Bounce Dylan", "The Rolling Stones" becomes "The Vagabonds", and "Like A Rolling Stone" becomes "Like A Stray"!... (Knut Högvall).

II. THE A.I. GENERATED BOOKS:

  In 2023 ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) arrived on the scene. "It enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language".
  Knut Högvall, who has found many pirate items on this page writes: "Now people don't even have to rip off Wikipedia any longer, they just ask ChatGPT to write a book about Bob Dylan: in effect, ChatGPT will explore Wikipedia and the Internet for them.
  All the A.I.-written texts will be slightly different, so we can't just compare the texts with Wikipedia to expose them anymore. Our work will no longer be to weed out the rip-offs from the real books, but to even find the real books in the deluge of rip-offs."
  That's technology... There is of course no absolute certitude, but we have clues to detect an A.I. book: they are usually very thin, with a poorly illustrated cover, and their "authors" are completely unknown, if named.
