"Rise of AI-Generated Nonsense: Google Books' Content Quality Concerns"
Google Books has reportedly started indexing low-quality books, potentially including AI-written works, which could impact its language tracking tool, Ngram. A recent report found books on Google Books that seemed to be written by bots, containing outdated information and phrases commonly used by AI models. Ngram, which tracks language evolution, relies on Google Books data and was last updated in 2019. Google stated that recent works on Google Books do not currently affect Ngram results, but it is possible that they could impact future data updates.
