It's weird that Amazon is setting the price on your novel. I thought we were supposed to have control over these things. Doesn't that mean you get zero for each sale? If it's less than you can buy them for? I saw they'd reduced the price on my guinea pig book on one occasion without my consent, but I haven't looked at it for ages.

No, I'm getting my usual royalty, so I really don't understand how it works. I did buy some copies (as its cheaper than I can buy them!) but they limited me to three copies. Funny that 🤣

Oh, well it's Ok if they still pay you. That's good then!

That's fascinating! That's been my overall experience of AI so far too (very limited) - quite good on the big picture but sometimes random with the finer details. It seems that, if it finds a gap in its knowledge, it just fills it in with an indiscriminate detail to pad things out, a bit like people who fill in the last few clues in the crossword with any old word that fits, just to claim they finished the job.

Yes, I'm pleased I did it because I did find it useful. I'm now getting some humans to look at it for their opinion 😁
