ChatGPT launches boom in AI-written e-books on Amazon

Using the AI software, which can generate blocks of text from simple prompts, Schickler created a 30-page illustrated children’s e-book in a matter of hours, offering it for sale in January through Amazon.com Inc's AMZN.O self-publishing unit.
使用可以從簡單提示產生文本塊的人工智慧軟件，Schickler在幾個小時內創作了一本30頁的插圖兒童電子書，並於一月份通過亞馬遜公司的自助出版單位出售。

In the edition, Sammy the Squirrel, crudely rendered also using AI, learns from his forest friends about saving money after happening upon a gold coin. He crafts an acorn-shaped piggy bank, invests in an acorn trading business and hopes to one day buy an acorn grinding stone.
在這個繪本中，使用AI繪圖的Sammy松鼠，在遇到一枚金幣後向他的森林朋友學習儲蓄。他製作了一個橡子形狀的存錢罐，投資於橡子交易業務，希望有一天能買下一個橡子研磨石。

"The Wise Little Squirrel: A Tale of Saving and Investing," available in the Amazon Kindle store for $2.99 - or $9.99 for a printed version - has netted Schickler less than $100, he said. While that may not sound like much, it is enough to inspire him to compose other books using the software.
他表示，“聰明小松鼠：關於儲蓄和投資的故事”在亞馬遜Kindle商店售價為2.99美元，印刷版本售價為9.99美元，他所獲得的收益不到100美元。儘管這聽起來不算多，但這已足以激發他使用這種軟件創作其他書籍的靈感。
