Why would AI need to write a plagiarized book? Isn't that just a knock off?

[–] evranch@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Because writing a knockoff book takes time and effort, and getting an AI to do it does not.

The same question applies to many fields. Why get AI to write a plagiarized tweet or Reddit comment? It's a lot less effort than a book, yet both platforms are plagued with bot comments.
