Can the mods do something about all the AI slop?

I can't be the only one here who doesn't want to hear any audiobooks read by a robot.

This subreddit, like many subreddits, is being overrun by bots and users posting AI generated content. Most subreddits are either banning AI generated content, or at the very least, making sure it is properly tagged as AI, so the majority of users who don't want to see that kind of thing can more easily ignore it.

Allowing this kind of content only serves to lower the overall quality of the entire subreddit.

Several of the latest posts here are from accounts making AI generated content and basically pretending to be humans. To me, they are no better than scammers.

Can the mods please ban this stuff? Or at the very least make a rule that it must be clearly tagged as AI? I'm really tired of all the bots.

A collector of rare tropical fish receives a new fascinating and terrifying species.

Dread—Thousands of people have gone missing out in the wild and here is a collection of tales that offer up some horrifying reasons why. Emmy-award-winning National Geographic cinematographer Kevin Bachar has swum with sharks, climbed the peaks of mountains, and explored the darkest of forests. In Dread, he weaves together terrifying true stories from his real-life adventures with twisted fiction from the depths of his frightening imagination. Listen and indulge in the dark side of nature—haunted forests, tree demons, monstrous snakes, and a search-and-rescue team terrorized by the ghosts of those they couldn’t save.

A Pulse-Pounding Mystery Thriller Debut

The most dangerous enemy is the one hiding in plain sight.

When the mysterious death of a childhood friend forces homicide detective Alex Abrams to return to her hometown, she’s pulled back into a world of dark secrets and painful memories she thought she’d left behind. Alex, a battle-hardened Iraq War veteran, is forced to confront the ghosts of her past—and the deadly truth lurking in the shadows of her tight-knit community.

Teaming up with her twin brother, Lucca, Alex soon uncovers a chilling pattern of so-called "accidental" deaths—each one more calculated and chilling than the last. But as the body count rises, Alex realizes they’re not dealing with a simple string of tragedies; someone is orchestrating these deaths with a deadly precision.

The closer Alex gets to the truth, the more personal the stakes become. A ruthless psychopath is hell-bent on tearing her world apart, and her brother may be next on the killer’s list. With every step, Alex faces a race against time to stop a monster who’s always one step ahead.

Will Alex uncover the killer before it’s too late, or will the twisted secrets of her hometown claim her—and her brother—forever?

In Bryan’s Bluff, debut author CD Sharpe delivers a heart-stopping, unforgettable mystery thriller filled with betrayal, small-town secrets, and a heroine with everything to lose. If you’re a fan of twisty, edge-of-your-seat thrillers like The Housemaid by Freida McFadden or First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston, you won’t be able to put this book down.

Don’t miss a minute of the action—click BUY NOW to dive into this gripping series debut.

Which book do you NEED an audiobook for?

​

We all know our favorite niche books don't always get an audiobook version to listen to and love while washing days-old dishes or feeding our tiny yapping doggy.

So we wanted to open a friendly discussion for readers to finally get off their chest what book they'd love to see in audiobook format! (No matter how niche.)

Hey there! I have more codes and would love to pass them on.

*PLEASE specify UK or US CODE

***PLEASE CONSIDER LEAVING A REVIEW!***

Some of the title below only have a few codes left or just UK codes left. Specified in parenthesis next to the title.

1. Monstrous Futures (UK Codes only)

A Sci-Fi Horror Anthology (Dark Matter Presents)

https://preview.redd.it/l469oo3g6tyg1.jpg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ec0aebe3e74dfce8c493e226d92f3b8687f225b

29 Brand-New Sci-Fi Horror Stories. The future is now, and it's not what we were promised. The optimistic science fiction of old was wrong. Progress is not linear, technology creates as many problems as it solves, and the concept of a better tomorrow has become an abstraction that is in no way guaranteed. When looking at the future now, we no longer ask what is possible, we wonder how we'll cope. Contained within this anthology are 29 never-before-published works by supremely talented authors. Brace yourself for the all too real horrors of what could very well be our terribly monstrous futures.
