A glut of AI-written fiction is drowning out human authors, new research shows. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/b...
Screenshot of text from NYT story by Alexandra Alter: 

Jess Michaels, a historical romance writer, has released 117 novels since she started writing full time in 1999, most of them self-published. She’s built a devoted readership, and has had 10 USA Today best sellers.

But lately, sales have been so dismal that she might stop publishing.

“The glut of the A.I. work makes discoverability very difficult,” Michaels said. “You’re talking about directly pirating my work, putting it into an engine so that you can produce a ‘Jess Michaels-type book,’ and then glutting the market with it.

“I cannot tell you how soul-crushing it is,” she added. “It essentially erases actual authors.”

Screenshot of an instagram post showing a DHS-looking dude with a black hat, a face covering, a "MEDIA" garb and a camera. Overlaid above him is a transcript of the words from the video being spoken: "big letters on their vests and they were carrying professional video equipment."

The most important paragraph by @juliaazari.bsky.social that you will read on the difference in reaction to Trump’s age and Biden’s age. Biden had to earn legitimacy. Therefore his age was an obstacle. Trump was given legitimacy. Age doesn’t matter.
Republicans represent groups who are assumed to hold legitimate power; Democrats represent groups who are not. Challenging these elements of the status quo runs the risk of violating journalistic norms about neutrality, while affirming the status quo does not. (Someone made this point in an excellent way somewhere online and I now can’t remember who said it or where I saw it.) So part of what drove the discussion of Biden’s age was that the former president was showing up, flawed, to advocate for policies on behalf of the poor, people of color, LGBTQ Americans. Trump, on the other hand, uses unconventional methods to advocate on behalf of the existing structure of power. For Biden, there was a higher burden to explain and justify. For Trump, some outbursts and rambling can still fit the script. And the messenger is hard to separate from the message.
