In Just 72 Hours: A Man Wrote And Illustrated A Children’s Book Using ChatGPT And Midjourney

Ammarr Reshi, a product design manager, wanted to give a book to the daughter of one of his friends, with a story of his own. Not having much experience in illustration and the creative writing process, she sought help, but this time she went to the artificial intelligence.

“In December, used the new OpenAI chatbot, ChatGPT, to write ‘Alice and Sparkle’a story about a girl named Alice who wants to learn about the world of technology and her robot friend, Sparkle. He then used Midjourney, an AI art generator, to illustrate it.”, reports Business Insider.

In one weekend, Reshi completed a process that could take many years. “Just 72 hours later, Reshi self-published his book on Amazon’s digital bookstore.. The next day, she had the paperback in her hands, made for free through another Amazon service called KDP.”, adds the medium.

According to Reshi, he spent no money to create his book, except for the subscription to Midjourney, which he already had before and which is equivalent to $30 a month. In addition, through his Twitter account, he told how he managed to complete his work in a short thread.

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!

Reshi received hundreds of responses and thousands of retweets. However, not all were amazed, grateful or supportive. “There was this incredibly passionate response. At 4am I would wake up to my phone exploding every two minutes with a new tweet saying things like: ‘You are scum’ and ‘We hate you’”, he told the outlet.

ChatGPT and Midjourney are two artificial intelligences that are having a lot of reach with users. Being freely accessible, despite the fact that the second has a monthly plan that provides more functions, anyone can generate content in practically seconds. That is, the first can generate text almost instantly and the second images in less than a minute. The results are almost always surprising.
