I certainly hope that none of these authors have ever read a book before or have been inspired by something written by another author.

These are machines, though, not human beings.

I guess I'd have to be an author to find out how I'd feel about it, to be fair.

I don't think anyone is faulting the machines for this, just the people who instruct the machines to do it.
