Plus: Official ChatGPT iPhone app debuts; Debt collectors using chatbots to chase debtors
Sci-fi author Tim Boucher has produced over 90 books in nine months, using ChatGPT and the Claude AI assistant.
Each book in his"AI Lore" series is between 2,000 to 5,000 words long - closer to an essay than a novel. They are interspersed with around 40 to 140 pictures, and take roughly six to eight hours to complete, heBoucher's superhuman output is down to the use of AI software. He uses Midjourney to create the images, and OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude to generate text to brainstorm ideas and write stories.
Boucher said the technology's current limitations make it more difficult to produce longer passages of text that follow a coherent storyline. Despite these challenges, he said AI has positively impacted his creativity.Selling an average of six copies per book to make a couple of hundred bucks a month may not be the money fountain authors were hoping AI could provide.Custom AI chatbots have been pressed into service as debt collectors.
Bots can repeatedly reach out to recalcitrant borrowers without getting fed up or burnt out by abuse.Clever prompting can nudge chatbots into adopting different styles of communication – some might be more empathetic, whilst others might be more aggressive or strict.
