Amazon Kindle's new feature uses AI to generate recaps for books in a series - TechCrunch

Nobody asked me.
Panzer made a quick trip to the TechCrunch site today. There with a little digging in the posts he found one about Amazon's new book recaps.
 
 According to Aisha Malik's post, Amazon is now using AI to generate recaps of books for Kindle users.
 
 Panzer says, "Inquiring kitties want to know, if your book is fed to the AI to get the recap without your permission?"
 
 This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and two chocolate chip cookies (biscuits) to snack on while you read the post.

Haven't done it for a while. It wasn't fun anymore.
Panzer was shaken from his kitty nap by loud noises coming from the Catosphere. Hopping into the Panzermobile, our brave kitty boy followed all the hoopla to the TechCrunch site. There he discovered a post that explained all the angst.
 
According to a post by Amanda Silberling, NaNoWriMo has announced it is shutting down. The post includes a link to a video about the closure.
 
Panzer says, "This little kitty quit doing it a few years ago."
 
Note: This is a short-medium length post. A cup of tea will be enough to snack on. If you want to watch the video, bring a muffin too.
