‘“May today sink peace into your soul”: New scams in the literary world’ by Dennis Altman
About this episode
Dennis Altman discusses new literary scams facilitated by artificial intelligence.
This week, on The ABR Podcast, we feature a special commentary by Dennis Altman on the new literary scams enabled by artificial intelligence. Altman recounts the multiple emails he has received from people ‘whose lives will not be complete if they are not given the opportunity to promote one of my books … to a global audience’. These emails are purportedly from authors as varied as Patrick Süskind and Annie Ernaux. Apparently ‘geography places no limits on my potential fan base,’ Altman writes, ‘nor, I suspect, will mortality.’
