According to the report, there were over 200 e-books in the e-retailer’s Kindle store as of this month that listed “ChatGPT” as an author — some of which are being sold for as little as $1 — but the real number is likely much higher, since people can use AI without disclosing that fact.

Books created using AI text generators are starting to flood Amazon, Reuters reports, the natural progression of a massive surge in interest in the technology.
AI generators like ChatGPT are making it incredibly easy to fast-track a book and have it published on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing store.
