This week’s FWD covers the latest with ChatGPT, as hundreds of books written via ChatGPT have appeared on Amazon in recent weeks as people begin to cash in on generative AI.
Mary Rasenberger, Executive Director of the writers’ group the ‘Authors Guild’, has said that “This is something we really need to be worried about, these books will flood the market, and a lot of authors are going to be out of work. Ghostwriting – by humans – has a long tradition, she said, but the ability to automate through AI could turn book writing from a craft into a commodity.”
Nearly 300 books have been written or co-written by OpenAI’s AI software and are listed on Amazon, ranging from fantasy fiction to self-help and non-fiction genres.
