Publishing companies for years have been plagued by too many submissions and too little time to screen them.

This has led to some enterprising neural network programmers to find ways to game the system.

I'd wager many of these books have been written by AI and then a team of humans screen and editorialize them into making sense.

They can churn these out in less than a week and make buckos off the fear they generate.

There are even more nefarious purposes for this technology, but when you see all these books come out just know that you're only now noticing a horribly butchered industry (peer-reviewed books publishing) doing what it has been doing for the last couple years, completely uninhibited.
