Fake 'summary' books are gaming new releases within days
A September 22 report describes AI-generated fake summaries and companion guides appearing on Amazon beside legitimate new releases, including one next to Marie Arana's 'LatinoLand,' within a day or two of publication.

AI-generated fake 'summary' and companion books are still showing up beside new releases within a day or two of publication -- a September 22 report cites one that appeared next to Marie Arana's 'LatinoLand,' plus earlier cases tied to Lisa Sun's 'Gravitas' and Kara Swisher's 'Burn Book.' Some of these incidents have circulated before, so treat this as an ongoing pattern, not new-this-week news. Check your own book's page and its 'customers also bought' carousel within 48 hours of any release, and file a takedown the moment you spot a copycat.
