They look a lot like the identikit romance books my mum would read. Even she didn't know which one's she'd read before. Be like three quarters of the way in and then go "oh, I've read this".

Pretty sure ChatGPT could create those things by now, such is the limitless array of imagination on offer within.

They don't need anything nearly as complicated as GPT LLMs . They already generate these scripts with a MS Word macro. It's been like that for years.

Once in a while the source dictionary is updated. They sell the scripts in lots of like 20 and charge for any customized work.

I'm certain those books work the same way.

If you can think of a way that reduces work and increases profits. They are already doing it.

Amusing, but every Lee Child book is like that too! Still enjoyed them in a kinda brain-mush way
