Tim is right.
Stores should stop tagging games that use AI for content and should stop selling them instead.
That way players don't have to check if they're about to spend their hard-earned money on slop.

“House of Beth,” by Kerry Cullen is a strange and magnetic piece of literary horror. Uncanny and romantic, peculiar and charming, this one is a corker of a novel from any author, but an outrageously brilliant debut.

Not to mention that school and library sales are a HUGE portion of all authors' sales. So they get the sale that you personally didn't pay for, your neighbor gets better access to books, and your unhoused pal has a place to sit WE ALL WIN

If you want literature to exist you have to support it and that doesn't always mean you, personally, will pay. The more we USE our libraries the better they can justify their funding, and the more people they can serve.
By stealing instead, you're cheating your neighbors AND the artists. Dick.

REMINDER: if you think your right-on lefty/socialist/communist/etc. politics justifies pirating books, well guess what? Most writers don't make a living wage from their books or writing work, and stealing from them makes you a class traitor.
