News Summary: New AI-Generated Scams Target Authors with Fake Book Fair and Radio Invitations
Thanks to Nate Hoffelder's morning coffee for the heads-up on a new warning from everyone's favorite scambuster, Victoria Strauss. The subject of her latest exposé is two more entries into the increasingly overstuffed canon of AI-generated scams targeting authors. Both of these follow the same trajectory. They begin with a very eloquently composed (or, at least, composed without the scam signs we've been told to look out for over decades) email request. And end, of course, with a special deal and some bonus extras, all for a reasonable (!) fee.

I sometimes like to give the people pinging me with their "author services" the benefit of the doubt. The attached image is one such conversation in which the person gave me a book marketing pitch (clearly GPT generated) on using book trailers. So, I glanced at one of their trailers posted on FB, and the answer to the veracity of the "professional" question was immediate.
