Ammaar Reshi, a product manager for a Silicon Valley fintech company, decided to use AI tools, ChatGPT for text and Midjourney for images, to create a book that he would give as a gift to his friend’s kids.
He spent a weekend to generate both text and illustrations, and self-publish the ebook version on Amazon.
The book, called Alice and Sparkle, explores the incredible abilities of artificial intelligence tools and “the importance of using them for good.”
It’s currently #7 best-selling title in the Children’s Computers & Technology Books category, and #338 in Children’s Literature overall.
I spent the weekend playing with ChatGPT, MidJourney, and other AI tools… and by combining all of them, published a children’s book co-written and illustrated by AI!
When Reshi shared his experience on Twitter, he initially received positive feedback, but then artists started to take part in a conversation, and many accused him of theft.
It’s worth noting that Ammaar Reshi says is loud a clear that the book was created with the help of AI. He credits ChatGPT as co-author, and Midjourney as illustrator.
He also included a disclaimer on the back cover: “This book was also co-created using AI tools to both aid in writing and illustration and is the first of its kind to do so.”
Alice and Sparkle started an important discussion around how the creators and users of AI tools have a responsibility to protect original artists and their work.

Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
by ELIZABETH GILBERT
Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack Gilbert, who was not related to me – unfortunately for me.
Jack Gilbert was a great poet, but if you’ve never heard of him, don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault. He never much cared about being known. But I knew about him, and I loved him dearly from a respectful distance, so let me tell you about him.
Jack Gilbert was born in Pittsburgh in 1925 and grew up in the midst of that city’s smoke, noise, and industry. He worked in factories and steel mills as a young man, but was called from an early age to write poetry. He answered the call without hesitation. He became a poet the way other men become monks: as a devotional practice, as an act of love, and as a lifelong commitment to the search for grace and transcendence. I think this is probably a very good way to become a poet. Or to become anything, really, that calls to your heart and brings you to life.
