tl;dr Books, most likely generated by an LLM, were being sold on Amazon under Jane Friedman's name. The same books were added to her Goodreads profile. Amazon initially refused to remove the books. If it's happening to her, it's definitely happening to other authors.
@maegul there should really be a license for that, which allows for free use in a non-commercial manner but triggers a responsibility to contribute back financially, even in a small way, when there is commerce involved.
