"legendary sci-fi author Philip K. Dick cranked out around thirty novels in two decades, along with what was probably several hundred short stories. These included enormously influential classics like "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep," "The Man in the High Castle," and "A Scanner Darkly" - all the work of a man whose eclectic imagination was matched only by his paranoia, which forced him to constantly probe the nature of reality itself and our easily-manipulated ability to perceive it."
"Across 21 different pen names, Hart says she produced more than 200 romance novels last year and self-published them on Amazon, which has been drowning in AI slop for years now. None were huge hits on their own, per the NYT, but in all they sold around 50,000 copies, raking in six figures. While being interviewed on Zoom, she finished producing a book in just 45 minutes. Your average human writer doesn't stand a chance, she says."
Philip K. Dick produced around thirty novels and several hundred short stories over two decades, including classics such as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, The Man in the High Castle, and A Scanner Darkly. Prolific output once inspired awe as evidence of singular creative drive. Artificial intelligence now enables rapid mass production of genre fiction, blurring the line between human and machine output. Coral Hart used Anthropic's Claude to produce over 200 romance novels across 21 pen names, self-publishing on Amazon and selling roughly 50,000 copies for six figures. She reportedly completed a book in 45 minutes on Zoom and launched Plot Prose to train others, claiming over 1,600 students.
