Has anybody worked with any of the books by Erza Bloodworth? 231 titles on Amazon… both angelic and demonic. Seeing that the publication dates are very close to each other, I am curious as to the opinion of the forum.

- … I’ll bet you 50 cents it’s AI slop plagiarized from people with actual experience.
I’m not even going to waste my time looking them up.

Publishing 5 to 10 books on the same day is a hell of a red flag.

It’s going to be full of fictional bullshit, for the same reason we ban AI-generated posts on thisi forum. general AI is trained on the entire internet, and most talk of “magick” online is fiction from movies and anime. - it’s at best “inspired by” and at worst complete garbage.
With so many authentic mages producing books that barely make any money as a labor of love, even offering them free, this honestly an insulting and cynical grift - as like attracts like, it bodes very ill for the energy in these “books”. the fact that he’s even do this not understanding that basic energetic principle show you all you need to know about what kind of mage this person is.

Thanks Mulberry.
I will take some time to explore the links. Much appreciated.

Not gonna lie with my drowsy post-energy work eyes, I too thought metalrat was a new member, and it appeared like a newcomer thread type of question.
Well, welcome back in any case!
Obviously yes the number of titles says it all. A book can take a year, if not more to write. If we do the calculus, 231 books. Obviously a book a year would make her 231 years old (quite the old fella).
So divide by two (a book every 6 months), roughly 115 years old. Divide by two again, 57.5 years old (a book every 3 months), divided by two again, roughly 28 years old of writing a book every 1.5 months! Okay, let’s keep going. Divided by two, 14 years old, a book every three weeks! It would take 14 years to write a book every three weeks to attain 231 books on amazon!
Wow! She just made every spirit of Goetia write her a book every three weeks for 14 years, isn’t that incredible! Or perhaps just a relentless masterful author who never sleeps… or perhaps simply used AI indeed. 
So yeah, basic math, it’s always fun to reduce to the absurd even if as you said 5 books a day is already a blatant red flag. Not to mention after I checked, all of the books have an AI picture cover. Also, correction, we’re now at 240 books, not 231! Fast authors these days.
This is obvious AI use and a ridiculous waste of everyone’s time (of using AI to write these).
But she has Bloodworth in her name, so she must be serious, obviously… if one can use AI at something, they’re definitely a pro for sure…

The last one we looked at that was like that, I bought one and it was maybe 14 pages long, and was just fictional silliness. Random rituals with no instruction on how to do them, no personal experience no organized system which they fit into.
If you want that just get AI to give you the same thing for free.

A paid 14 pages essay of nonsense, ouch.
It makes sense though. An LLM has no feelings or personal experience, just a jam of data crammed up to spew out words of which it is not even aware of their meaning.
I would be very curious to try and see just how many hallucinations and inaccuracies posing as truth there are in these 240 so-called books.
Fortunately on the other hand it’s a perfect textbook example for newcomers of why one does NOT mess with AI in the practice of magic.
I don’t much get the business idea behind it as well, if it’s blatant it was made with AI, people will just realize, as you’ve said, that AI slop is free by comparison.

Seeing the amount of crap that this person has spewed out into the world, I can’t help but wonder what the entities themselves think of this. Generally spreaking, disrespect will not win you their favour, quite the opposite.

Probably not much to be honest, lol. It would give too much importance to a human being that has to resort to parlor tricks and using an LLM to spew out nonsense. If true skill was at hand an LLM would not have been used to compensate.
Many defeat themselves when sullying magic, it would be my guess that it would thus not be required to resort to reaction from that perspective.
Though better yet would be to ask the spirits themselves what they think of that, after all who would we be to declare they feel X or Y if not even consulting them. Of course all of that is just my opinion, as always.

Not that I’m defending the author mentioned in the title, but one of the official Guinness World Records for the highest number of published books belongs to Ryoki Inoue—he published over 1,000 of them, and it was in year 1996, way before the AI era.
He wrote “pocket books” of pulp fiction that were westerns and spy stories, churning them out without a lot of consideration or editing.
I don’t think that is fair to compare them to a grimoire where you’d expect someone to be taking time to develop rituals, have them tested by friends and be carefully edited. - JUST that wait for people to test them out adds weeks to each ritual included.
i think this proves the point, that publishing several books a week doesn’t give anyone any confidence in thier quality or long term usefulness.

I’m sure it could work as chaos magick but even that endorsement comment looks super AI generated

You are correct - post removed per the rules.
@SylverRaylan we ask members to not post AI-generated content on this forum. Please use your own words. We don’t care what the lowest-common-denominator Internet opinion is, was can ask AI ourselves. Please respect that we are striving for authenticity on this form.

Never mind, that member @SylverRaylan was banned for trolling, being very rude and harassing members before as @Narciso and @Sebastienthemage. then refusing to stop, and such a ban is permanent, so they are now banned again.
Creating duplicate accounts to get around posting restrictions instead of working with moderators to figure out a solution is itself a bannable offense, but in this case we already went though that process.
Some people just think the rules shouldn’t apply to them.
Fictional derail removed. @metalrat Please do not spend your money based on that fake post, it was an AI-generated troll - meaning, a lie. Sorry for the inconvenience.
