There was a story years ago about someone who made hundreds of novels on Amazon, in aggregate they pulled in a decent penny. I wonder if someone's doing the same but with ChatGPT instead.

Pretty sure there was a whole era where people were doing this with public domain works, as well as works generated by Markov chains spitting out barely-plausible-at-first-glance spaghetti. I think that well started to dry up before LLMs even hit the scene.

"AI helped me make money by evading anti-spam controls" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. :p

"Adding the abbreviation 'AI' to my marketing for online courses for making millions making marketing for online courses made me millions!"

It had happened in Japan. There was on author who were updating 30+ series simultaneously on Kakuyomi, the largest Japanese web novel site. A few of them got top ranked.

Afaik, I think the way people are making money in this space is selling courses that teach you how to sell mass produced AI slop on Amazon, rather than actually doing it
