 Author Jane Friedman discovered that someone was selling generated texts under her name and it took her story going viral to get Amazon to remove them. Prosecraft has been around since 2017. Benjy Smith, who created Prosecraft, thought it was a useful tool for new authors to upload and compare their own work. He did not mind their work. He was just using the algorithm that was drawing from published texts to say, hey, you're about as vivid as Herman Melville. On Monday, the Internet noticed Smith removed Prosecraft. Do we think that Smith deserved the ire? Let's all grab our pitchforks and our torches and go after the thing. And the reason that works is because there are bad actors who do things that look like Prosecraft like Friedman ran into and people are tired of having to deal with them. So they just jumped to a conclusion. Frankly, I think they really picked the wrong example.
