South African researchers created 370 books with the help of artificial intelligence
South African author Coral Hart has created over 370 books in 20 months using artificial intelligence tools. One.uz reports this.
According to AFP, income from book sales has exceeded $1 million since the beginning of 2026. The author used models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok, but as tools: she develops the plot ideas, characters, style, and chapter outlines herself.
Artificial intelligence helps in drafting and editing the text. The initial text is processed in several stages, then a human editor or proofreader checks the text and makes necessary corrections.
The author's methods and results Coral Hart's real name has not been disclosed. She worked in the publishing industry for 14 years and had written dozens of works even before starting to use artificial intelligence.
According to the author's calculations, her books in electronic, print, and audio formats have sold over one million copies in total. The majority of the works are in the romance genre, aimed at a specific reader audience.
Debates in the literary field Her activities are intensifying debates about the role of artificial intelligence in literature. While some criticize the quality and authorship of works created in this way, Hart points to the sales of her books as the primary criterion.
