Off topic, but I read books, and I can tell publishers leverage " judging a book by its cover" extremely well, because it is true, otherwise I couldn’t tell an academic edition or a general edition. A book with an AI cover is, in general, a bad idea, and it conveys low quality to the reader. Some open source books use AI to format an epub file; some use text recognition without professional formatting, and it is a disaster to read. You are better off getting an old pdf edition or paying a premium for a publisher’s modernised version.

But I do agree that generative software proliferation can certainly lead to a flood of low-quality trash.

The problem of genAI software is that it comes from non technical users. Ideally, knowing the logic of a program is necessary to even imagine one. They always show these nicey nicey flow-charts with logic and decision based pathways. A non technical user will spit out a software that they wouldn’t know how to fix, don’t you think? And if fixing the software is more time consuming than writing it, the balance shifts towards manual work
