According to the Reuters news agency, ChatGPT appear as the author or co-author of at least 200 works available on Fire up the store from Amazon. However, experts say the actual number of books produced by robots could be significantly higher, as Amazon policy does not require authors to disclose the use of artificial intelligence in their literary works.

“I see people making a whole career out of it.said author Brett Sheekler, who published the children’s book on the Kindle store.The idea of ​​writing a book finally turned out to be possible.”

Shikler’s book,The Wise Little Squirrel: A Tale of Savings and Investments‘, is a 30-page children’s story written and illustrated by artificial intelligence that sells for $2.99 ​​digital and $9.99 print. Although Shikler says the book has made him less than $100 since its release in January, he only spent a few hours building the project with ChatGPT commands like “write a story about a father teaching his son financial literacy“.

Other examples of AI-generated content on the Kindle Store include the children’s story “The power of homework‘, a collection of poems called ‘Echo of the Universe“and a sci-fi epic about an interstellar brothel”,Galactic Pimp: Vol. 1‘.

The authors show concern

The use of ChatGPT for book production has raised concerns among writers and publishers. For Mary Rasenberger, executive director of the Authors Guild, the situation is worrisome:This should be taken seriously, as a large number of books created with this technology could flood the market and leave many authors out of work.“, he decided.

She argues that both authors and platforms need to be transparent about the use of artificial intelligence in literary production in order to avoid publishing substandard works.

An author calling himself Frank White posted a video on his YouTube channel in which he demonstrates how, in less than 24 hours, he managed to create a 119-page story called “Galactic Pimp: Vol. 1′ using artificial intelligence. The book is available to purchase from the Amazon Kindle e-book store for just $1. In the video, White claims that anyone with the time and resources can create up to 300 of these books a year using AI.

According to Reuters, many authors like White don’t feel the need to disclose that their books were mass-produced on computers in the Kindle store, in part because of Amazon’s current policy of not requiring such transparency.

Amazon, when asked by Reuters, has not considered changing or revising its policy regarding the use of AI or other automated writing tools by authors. Company spokeswoman Lindsey Hamilton said in an email: “All books in the store must comply with our content policies, including compliance with intellectual property rights and all other applicable laws.“.
