Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, Feb. 22 (Xinhua)-- according to the latest report from Reuters, the recent popularity of ChatGPT also has a strong presence in Amazon's Kindle online bookstore. The AI robot is currently listed as the author or co-author of at least 200 books.

In addition, Amazon's policy does not require disclosure of AI usage, so the actual number of ChatGPT's involvement in creation may be much higher than that.

Reported that the New York supermarket salesman Brett Schickler successfully launched a children's book in the Kindle store, he said in an interview: "the idea of writing a book has finally become feasible."

The Wise Little Squirrel: A Tale of Saving and Investing (Smart Squirrel: the Story of savings and Investment), published by Brett Schickler, is a 30-page children's story written and illustrated by AI.

▲ CTOnews.com found that the book was published on January 24 and did not comment on the electronic version of the book for $2.99 (currently about 21 yuan) and the printed version for $9.99 (currently about 69 yuan).

According to the report, although Schickler has earned less than $100 from it since its launch in January, considering that he has spent only a few hours on it, the cost-benefit ratio is actually quite good, and his job is basically to tell ChatGPT "to write a story about a father teaching his son about financial management."

▲ Brett Schickler in addition to children's books, AI's current content in the Kindle store also covers poetry collections, science fiction and other fields, but the quality is obviously not guaranteed. "this is something we really need to worry about," said Mary Rasenberger, executive director of the American authors Association. "these books will flood the market and many authors will lose their jobs. Authors and platforms need to be transparent about the way such works are created, otherwise there will be a lot of poor quality content."

Meanwhile, Clarkesworld Magazine, a science fiction magazine, has decided to suspend the submission of short stories after receiving a large number of articles suspected of secretly using AI.

Neal Clarke, editor of ▲ Clarkesworld Magazine, did not elaborate on how he identified such articles, but according to him, through some "very obvious rules" you can spot content that might involve AI.

I can tell you that the percentage of people blocked for spamming has reached 38% this month. Although it is easy to reject and ban the submission of such contributions, the rate of growth forces us to make changes. To make matters worse, the technology will only get better and better, so screening will become more challenging.
