Amazon has about 200 books for sale written using ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence tool, and this situation is seen as a threat to writers.
The number 200 was put forward by Reuters at the end of February, and in the following days there were warnings about the risks of this tool, such as Mary Rasenberger, executive director of the Authors Guild, the largest and oldest organization. professional writers in the USA.
“These books will flood the market and many authors will be out of work,” he said, quoted by BusinessInsider.
An example of a book written entirely by a “robot” is “ChatGPT on ChatGPT: AI Explains Itself” (“ChatGPT on ChatGPT: Artificial Intelligence Explains Itself”), and the paper version costs $11.9 (€11), free in the version for Kindle.
The other is “The Wise Little Squirrel” by Brett Shikler, a Rochester, New York salesman who made his dream of writing a book come true, but with the help of ChatGPT.
It has 30 pages, was written with this tool in a few hours, and is sold digitally on Amazon Kindle for $2.99 (€2.8) or $9.99 (€9.5) in print.
By the end of February, Shikler had earned less than $100 (€93), he said.
Amazon said that all books in its “online store” must comply with intellectual property rules, but said nothing about possible changes in the rules for using technology. OpenAI, which launched ChatGPT, declined to comment.
Artificial intelligence promises to revolutionize internet search and other uses, but experts warn that it also poses risks such as privacy breaches, biased algorithms that will require regulation that is difficult to implement as these technologies advance rapidly.
Generative artificial intelligence models such as ChatGPT are able to generate extremely complex texts from simple text, answer questions, create new questions, create content, journalistic materials.
In the description of the Portuguese specialist Luis Paulo Reis, made for Lusa, it is also possible to create programs in subjects of higher or secondary education, answers to exams, even create exams.
