No AI Slop!
...we do not permit AI slop on our platform (it's a technical term, believe it or not).
At Leanpub, we encourage authors to use AI if they're open to it.
In particular, we're huge fans of using AI for things like book translation and course creation.
We're even fine with authors using generative AI in a variety of ways on an individual book they're writing.
But with that said, we do not permit AI slop on our platform (it's a technical term, believe it or not).
That includes not just individual AI slop books, but AI-automated processes for the production of large numbers of books.
If you're wondering what AI slop looks like, it's definitely in the category of "You can't define it precisely, but you know it when you see it."
Also, we don't permit AI agents to use Leanpub.
Leanpub books and courses should all be human-created and human-curated, and enhanced or transformed by AI tools with human guidance.
If you do find anything that looks like AI slop on Leanpub, please send a link to the team at hello@leanpub.com so we can investigate!
