00:00Before watching the video, remember to check out the more content on trending websites.
00:05An author published 371 books in 20 months
00:08Such a production volume is truly hard to imagine.
00:11On average, he publishes a book in less than two days.
00:15This speed doesn't rely solely on human labor.
00:17Instead, it's the human brain plus artificial intelligence.
00:20South African author Hart will begin writing a book using AI starting in February 2025.
00:24371 books have been published so far.
00:26He mostly wrote romance novels.
00:28He estimated the number of ebooks, print books, and audiobooks himself.
00:30More than 1 million copies were sold in total.
00:32One of them even made it into the top 100 of Amazon's bestseller list.
00:37Even more astonishing is the income.
00:38This year alone, it has already exceeded $1 million so far.
00:43The current exchange rate translates to approximately 4.08 million Malaysian Ringgit.
00:47However, as soon as he released these figures, a barrage of criticism followed.
00:51Yes, the books are selling very well.
00:54However, Hart was heavily criticized.
00:56Open social media, scammers, literary scum.
00:59These words were all directed at him.
01:02He revealed in an interview with AFP
01:05I received tens of thousands of hate messages.
01:08There were also death threats.
01:10Why are people reacting so strongly?
01:12For many writers, a book may take a year or two to write.
01:16He can publish a new book in less than two days.
01:19I believe it, as many of my peers have observed.
01:21This is less like creation and more like destroying one's livelihood.
01:26Because of this, Hart has become a controversial symbol of AI's foray into the publishing industry.
01:31In such a hostile atmosphere
01:34Almost no author who writes books using AI dares to show their face in public.
01:38Not to mention admitting it.
01:40But Hart is different.
01:41He not only admitted it, but also chose to stand up and defend himself.
01:46So what if you face so much criticism?
01:48Hart could have easily hidden behind a pseudonym.
01:51Just keep writing and keep making money.
01:53Why did he stand up?
01:54His statement was that this is an issue we must face squarely.
01:57The reality is that this era has arrived.
02:00It's impossible because of the opposition of a group of writers
02:02The tech company simply cut off the power and unplugged the device.
02:05In other words, in his opinion?
02:06The trend of AI-generated books is unstoppable.
02:09Instead of pretending not to see it, let's lay it all out.
02:12Another point to clarify is...
02:14Hart wasn't a latecomer to the field.
02:15He has been in the publishing industry for 14 years.
02:18Before AI was used at all?
02:20He has written dozens of works
02:22In other words, it's not that he can't write books.
02:24Then rely purely on AI
02:25He was born with the ability to write.
02:27He's just changed his tools now.
02:28The critic also had another point.
02:30That is to say, Hart created AI to search for water.
02:34It means poor AI-generated text.
02:38Videos and pictures
02:39How did Hart respond?
02:40He then brought up the most realistic standard.
02:42That is, the books can be sold.
02:45He stated directly that readers won't read trashy books.
02:48If it's junk, they'll just return it.
02:50In other words, in his eyes
02:52The market is the referee.
02:54These sales figures and return rates are the real report card.
02:58So how exactly did he use AI?
03:01Many people are thinking about one-click generation
03:04Actually, they are quite different.
03:05Hart said if you expect
03:06One button click generates one-click generation
03:09You'll most likely just get a pile of garbage.
03:12It was a terrible sight.
03:13His approach was
03:14First, define the concept of the story yourself.
03:16Writing style, character details, chapter outline
03:20These are all arrangements made by the human brain.
03:21The system then begins generating content.
03:24Moreover, he had several AIs divide the work.
03:27He said ChatGPT is good at writing conversations.
03:29But he can't write narratives.
03:31Cloud is very good at building story structures.
03:33But if you want to write this
03:35I'm not good at the erotic part.
03:37Grow's overall writing will be a mess.
03:40But you need to write about some more exciting sports activities.
03:43He's very good at it.
03:44Besides generating this initial draft, what else...?
03:46He will then hand it over to AI to repair the structure.
03:49Patch this vulnerability
03:50The final review is conducted by someone.
03:54Calling the team
03:55Find and modify those AI guns that slipped through the net.
03:58Then it can be put on the shelves.
04:00He said that at first he could only write one paragraph at a time.
04:02Now I can simulate bending in one go.
04:04The entire draft has been completed.
04:06One example in Hart's defense was particularly poignant.
04:09Canadian author Aurelian's novel
04:12He was already shortlisted for France's most important literary prize
04:15Consolidate and speak
04:16This award holds a certain status in France.
04:18It's roughly equivalent to the Oscars in the literary world.
04:21An anonymous account then accused the book of being written by AI.
04:25The organizers immediately removed it from the list.
04:27Aurelian's publisher also acknowledged
04:29He did use AI and then distanced himself from it.
04:33So, what about this point?
04:34Hart's criticism came before the controversy erupted.
04:37Before we even knew AI existed
04:40Critics have given this book rave reviews.
04:43Sales are also very good.
04:44He also won another French literary prize.
04:46He then asked in return...
04:47If you want to see the AI label first
04:50Only then did I decide to hate something
04:52So, which work itself do you dislike?
04:55Or simply dislike AI
04:56In other words, he believes that reviewers and readers
04:58I didn't think there was anything wrong with the content of that book at first.
05:01Everyone likes it
05:02Just because everyone found out later
05:04It was labeled with the AI tag
05:06He suddenly felt disliked and uncomfortable.
05:08That's just prejudice.
