ChatGPT aiding Authors to publish AI written books

ChatGPT  is now ready to tip over the traditional book industry as would-be  novelists make a quick buck as they are turning to the software to help create bot-made e-books and publish them through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing arm. On platforms like Youtube, TikTok, and Reddit, many tutorials have appeared, demonstrating how to make a book in just a few hours.

 Amazon is the largest seller of both physical and e-books, commanding well over half of sales in the United States and by some estimates, over 80% of the e-book market. Its kindle Direct Publishing Service has spawned a cottage industry of self-published novelists, carving out particular niches for enthusiasts of erotic content and self-help books.

Due to the nature of ChatGPT and many authors failure to disclose they have used it , it is nearly possible to get a full accounting of how many e-books may the software’s emergence has already ruffled some of the biggest technology firms, prompting Alphabet Inc GOOGL.O and Microsoft Corp MSFT.O to hastily debut new functions in Google and Bing  respectively that incorporate AI.

The rapid consumer adoption of ChatGPT has spurred frenzied activity in tech circles as investors pour money into AI-focused startups and given technology firms new purpose amid the gloom of extreme layoffs. Microsoft for one  received fawning coverage this month over its otherwise moribund Bing search engine after demonstrating an integration with ChatGPT.

But already there are concerns over authenticity, because ChatGPT learns how to write by scanning millions of pages of existing text. An experiment with AI by CNET resulted in multiple corrections and apparent plagiarism before the tech news site suspended its use.
