Calling PB detectives: the case of the AI authors
Creating a catch all list to determine if these authors are really people or not.
🚫This is not for doxxing authors using pen names 🚫This is not for when a human author admits to or is accused of using AI in their work ✅This is to identify books generated by AI and posted for sale digitally under a fabricated 'author' name.

I fallen down a rabbit hole lately researching authors that don't actually exist. I'm hoping this can be a group project.
I'm researching authors who have no social media presence, have never done an interview, have never posted a picture of themselves etc.
I'm going to have a pinned post for confirmed AI authors and a pin need post for proven human.
Please make suggestions if you come across any of these in the wild.
I have a shelf of authors who use ai or ai authors.

In particular the ones I found were completely fabricated and on an ai publishing site Future Fiction Press.

4 published works in 2026 2 published works in 2025 ...does that mean anything? I'm new to being a detective
I'm also new to detective work but I think several published works in a year are a red flag, especially when compared to other suspicious activity!
Website is bare bones - only linking back to Amazon selling page.
No social media found
'bio' is super generic and doesn't have any personal details
Book covers have that 'AI' look - no artist listed.
If I add authors to this list in error, and you know they are an actual human, please let me know so I can remove them from the list! ❤️
