Author “wrote” 97 books in 9 months using artificial intelligence
By ForGeeks Tim Boucher, an artist and writer working with AI, claims to have earned nearly $2,000 by selling 574 copies of 97 works. Each book in his «AI Lore» series contains between 2,000 and 5,000 words — closer to an essay than a novel. They are interspersed with about 40 to 140 photographs, and they take about six to eight hours to complete, he told Newsweek.
He said.
Bouchet’s superhuman productivity is due to his use of artificial intelligence software. He uses Midjourney to create images, and ChatGPT from OpenAI and Claude from Anthropic to generate text, to brainstorm ideas and write stories.

To those critics who think that a work of 2,000 — 5,000 words is «just» a short story and not a real book, I would say that these «not real books» have shown impressive returns for a small, extremely niche indie publishing house with very little promotion and virtually no overhead
.
The current limitations of technology make it difficult to create long passages of text that follow a coherent storyline, Boucher said. Despite these problems, he says, AI has had a positive impact on his writing. AI has divided the fiction community. The editors of Clarkesworld magazine, for example, consider short stories written by machines to be spam.
