New KDP Rules For AI Content

Amazon released some new rules for the publishing of AI content. It's not blocking you or terminating your account if you do. It's only collecting information about the book you publish.

In short, it asks you about the quality of content, images, and translations. It inquires as to whether you manually edited the content or if AI was solely responsible for the book's or images' creation. Amazon, in its terms, says that if your text is "AI-Assisted", so for example, using a grammar checker, or asking AI to give you ideas that you use for writing the book on your own, you have to say nothing. If it is AI-generated, you have to compile their new form, which you will find on step two while publishing your book.

In my opinion, if you are publishing on Amazon, take time to verify the quality of your text. This could be a preventive measure or just something to show how many people are publishing.

Publish your books only after a relevant revision of the content. You can use AI images, but pay special attention to your text. Read it, change the strange words used by ChatGPT (harness about everything LOL), add something of your own to the book, and all should be fine.

By my side, I will continue doing what I do because I don't publish 100 books per day but only up to 3 per month. Just because I care about the content. ChatGPT is repetitive, and especially for fiction, I have to add a lot of my own to make the story go for a certain length and finish in a certain way.

So for now, we have no choice but to wait and see what Amazon will do with this information.
