Today's fun: Discovering I have published a new book *without even knowing it!* That's how talented I am.

The truth is much scarier.

AI has been used to generate an entire book published in my name. A kind fan let me know she had bought it, not realizing it was NOT from me, and was shocked at the cheap printing, awful writing and so many other ways that it was clear I had nothing to do with this.

The title is The Best Way to Meet Your Dog: Navigating Canine Behavior and Relationships. IT IS NOT MINE.

It has stolen a lot of material from a lot of trainers including me, Kim Brophey and others. I have filed complaints with Amazon.

This is going to be the future, I fear. Stay alert, and keep an eye out for what's posted on Amazon under your own name.

If you can *without purchasing the book,* post a warning at Amazon in the reviews for this crap.

Well, this is bonkers.

AI is everywhere and evolving like crazy. It’s definitely all the buzz in the book industry these days.

Apparently, 183,000 books were used without consent to train generative AI systems. Why? To teach that AI how to write books. In the style of particular authors.

I looked myself up and sure enough … some of my books were used. Which has to be a breach in copyright.

Now (hilariously? Alarmingly? Absurdly?) a hashtag has been created in support of authors who are … human. What kind of crazy sci-fi world are we stepping into?
