Single-speaker YouTube monologue (SPEAKER A) by Bill Gallagher criticizing low-quality, self-published books that seem AI-generated. Speaker describes creating an 'avoid words' list to stop ChatGPT (mockingly called 'Chad GPT') from producing clichéd text, recounts buying five AI books after getting a book deal due to imposter syndrome, and argues that badly produced AI-written books make AI seem lazy and damage its reputation.

So I literally just have to type backslash, avoid words. And it populates the running list that I add to every day of words that I won't let Chad GPT say drives me mental. And it sounds like it's written by AI. And funny enough, when I got the book deal, first thing I did was order five books about AI because I had total imposter syndrome. The books that I got, they're over here and they are huge print and they are absolute garbage. It was so obvious to me that whoever self published these books literally wrote the book on ChatGPT and did it. You know, they give chat. They give AI a bad name. You know, when. When AI becomes synonymous with being lazy, they're not helping the cause.
