One author published 100 sci-fi books co-created with AI, earning nearly $2,000

Tim Boucher, a Canadian AI artist and author, wrote recently in Newsweek that he published 97 books since August 2022, and all these books have one thing in common – they were created with AI tools.

The author is using ChatGPT for text and Midjourney for images. Each of his short books contains up to 5,000 words and between 40 and 140 AI-generated images.

💬 My goal was straightforward: To craft a series of unique, captivating ebooks merging dystopian pulp sci-fi with compelling AI world-building.

The books reference to each other, making a web of stories that connects them all to “constantly draw readers in and encourage them to explore further.”

Boucher admitted that he sold 574 copies so far, and earned nearly $2,000 in total. Ebooks cost between $1.99 and $3.99, and are available on Gumroad.

Authors, how much time do you need to write a book? How much time do you need to write 5,000 words? Designers, how much time do you need to create a single fantasy image?

Tim Boucher says he needs between 6 and 8 hours to create and publish each of his books.

💬 In some instances, I’ve been able to produce a volume in as little as three hours, everything included.
