I don't understand how someone would think that generating a book a day with AI would give them an advantage? Flooding the market with that much mediocre (at best) content surely gives the advantage to the actual quality writing that real, skilled authors produce

Happy New Year, start it off smiling with this golden oldie
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Your dishwasher year in review! 🧽🥃🍽️
💎 You've done 400 dishwasher loads this year! Wow! Why are there still so many dirty mugs around?
🤔 You forgot to switch me on overnight 50 times! I thought you might learn, but no!
⏳ The average time I waited to be emptied was 23.8 hours! That's the bottom 1%!
