Google Books Appears to Be Indexing Works Written by AI
Description
Google Books is indexing low-quality, AI-generated books, degrading its database and potentially distorting Google Ngram Viewer's analysis of language trends. This integration of inaccurate or misleading information undermines trust, disseminates poor-quality content, and wastes resources as researchers must spend time clearing up the misinformation.
