The Spines news is as crap as it sounds. Regardless of how they present their platform they ARE a vanity publisher, only worse bc they will flood the market with AI.
Here is their logo so you can avoid/boycott them.
They have a website by the same name.

IMO the people behind Spines AI publishing are spineLESS. They don’t care about books, don’t care about art, don’t care about the instinctive human talent it takes to write, edit and produce a book. They want the magic, without the work. They are snake oil salesmen. pic.twitter.com/sraZ3i6MuN

interestingly, it looks like Spines is not a new publisher at all, but a company called BooxAI that has rebranded seemingly due to providing terrible service to self-published authors https://t.co/kmGUL0XHgV pic.twitter.com/9UfzDCAyFw

Wherever you have money, you have Jewish scams. We saw that with Bankman and FTX scamming the crypto scene.
Of course AI was going to be piled full of Jewish scam artists. Jews don’t really create anything, as a rule, they just find angles to suck money out of others.
Writers and publishers are criticising a startup that plans to publish up to 8,000 books next year using AI.The company, Spines, will charge authors between $1,200 and $5,000 to have their books edited, proofread, formatted, designed and distributed with the help of AI.
Independent publisher Canongate said “these dingbats … don’t care about writing or books”, in a Bluesky post. Spines is charging “hopeful would-be authors to automate the process of flinging their book out into the world, with the least possible attention, care or craft”.“These aren’t people who care about books or reading or anything remotely related,” said author Suyi Davies Okungbowa, whose most recent book is Lost Ark Dreaming, in a post on Bluesky. “These are opportunists and extractive capitalists.”
Spines – which recently secured $16m in seed funding, according to a profile of the company in the Bookseller – says that authors will retain 100% of their royalties. Co-founder Yehuda Niv, who previously ran a publisher and publishing services business in Israel, claimed that the company “isn’t self-publishing” or a vanity publisher but a “publishing platform”.…
The company is seemingly “just trying to speed up” self-publishing “in a way that won’t work well, and of course, they don’t want to call it that”, said Marco Rinaldi, co-host of Page One – The Writer’s Podcast, in a post on Bluesky.
If people want an AI editor, they can just download it. Thus far, it doesn’t work that well for that purpose. AI is good at generating content, but it makes many mistakes in trying to rework content, and the time you have to spend fixing those mistakes is a lot more than you would spend just editing yourself.
The impact of AI on writing is mostly going to be related to news, advertisement, and trade papers published by organizations. You can enter in a set of data you want in essay form and it will do it better than most humans. Creative work, however, is not something AI is likely to be good at any time soon.
These Jews are also talking about using AI for formatting, and that is another place where the time you spend doing corrections will be greater than the time it would take to just do it yourself.
People who write code have already figured this out: the AI we have right now is certainly an amazing leap, but it screws up so much that to use it for serious work means you have to spend more time correcting it than it would take to do it yourself.
