Got a clearly AI-generated email today about one of my books. How did I know it was AI-generated? Partly because of the sloptastic prose that took several paragraphs to say nothing, but mostly because the book in question was written by someone with my name in *1846*.

The 1846 book is listed on my Goodreads author page. Back when I *used* Goodreads I jumped through the hoops to get the other John Ayliff's books removed split off, but there doesn't seem much point doing that again if they're just going to come back.

A system that can generate bland-but-coherent emails but can't guess that two books written 170 years apart are not by the same author - yes, definitely a new form of intelligent life, definitely the future.
