A science fiction author has used artificial intelligence generators, including ChatGPT, to write and illustrate nearly 100 books in less than a year.

Tim Boucher said he utilized the smart technology to publish 97 mini-novels in the last nine months.

“My goal was straightforward: To craft a series of unique, captivating ebooks, merging dystopian pulp sci-fi with compelling AI world-building,” Boucher wrote in an article for Newsweek.

“The ‘AI Lore books,’ as I’ve come to call them, are a testament to the potential of AI in augmenting human creativity.”

The author said he used AI chatbots ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude to help with brainstorming and text generation, while AI image generator Midjourney was used to illustrate the novels.

At around 5,000 words they are hardly a book.
