Amazon has about 200 books for sale written using the Chat GPT, an Artificial Intelligence tool, a situation that is seen as a threat to writers.
The number 200 was advanced by the Reuters agency at the end of February and, in the following days, alerts emerged regarding the risks of this tool, such as that of Mary Rasenberger, executive director of the Authors Guild, the largest and oldest organization of professional writers in the United States United.
"These books will flood the market and many authors will be unemployed", he said, quoted by the 'site' BusinessInsider.
The example of a book written entirely by the 'robot' is “ChatGPT on ChatGPT: The AI Explains Itself” (“ChatGPT on ChatGPT: The Artificial Intelligence Explains Itself”) and the paper version costs 11,9 dollars, free in the version Kindle.
Another is “The “Wise Little Squirrel” (“The Wise Little Squirrel”), by Brett Schickler, a salesman from Rochester, New York, who fulfilled the dream of writing a book, but with ChatGPT.
It has 30 pages, was written in a few hours with this tool, and is on sale on Amazon Kindle, in a digital version, for 2,99 dollars, or 9,99 dollars in the printed version.
BUT: Cambridge University will not ban ChatGPT
By the end of February, Shickler had earned less than $100 (93 euros), he told Reuters.
Amazon has said that all books in its 'online' store must comply with intellectual property rules, but has said nothing about a possible change in regulations on the use of technology. OpenAI, which launched ChatGPT, declined to comment.
Artificial intelligence promises a revolution in internet search and other uses, but experts warn that it also presents risks, such as violating privacy, biased algorithms, which will require regulation, difficult to implement, as these technologies advance quickly.
Generative artificial intelligence models, such as ChatGPT, are capable of generating, from a simple text, creating extremely complex texts, answering questions, creating new questions, creating content, journalistic pieces.
