In a rapidly changing world, it's more important than ever to be adaptable and open to learning from our own experiences!

It's more important than ever to be adaptable and ready to learn. More than ever, technology is evolving and changing, and we need to be open to ideas that may be challenging or different.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionise how we build ideas, content, images, and digital content. It offers solutions like optimising article spinner quality or generating targeted content based on keywords.

I used the holiday season to look more deeply into the current AI technologies and trends and decided to create a children's book made 100% with artificial intelligence. As a result, I published my first children's book on amazon with the title "Luna the astronaut Girl; Exploring the Galaxy with Cricket".

Here are the three steps I follow to create a book from scratch and publish it in one day:

1. Brainstorm, create ideas and then build content

One way AI can be used is to generate new ideas. For example, it can analyse data patterns and trends and identify opportunities for innovation through machine learning and algorithms. AI can also help build content by analysing user data and generating personalised recommendations for topics and formats.

For example, I used Chat GPT (gpt3) and asked some questions.

• When writing a children's book, what is a best-selling character?
• Create a compelling character around a little astronaut girl and her friend, the astronaut cricket, when they travel through the galaxy visiting distant planets
• Name three adventures for Luna and the cricket
• Describe in detail the first adventure
• Write a heroic poem for luna and the cricket and their adventures
• What would be a compelling book title and sub-title for the adventures of luna and cricket?
• Write a table of content for a children's book containing the three adventures, each containing a riddle page and a colouring page.
• Create crossword ten questions and answer samples for children 15 years around the topic astronaut, space, galaxy, planets
• List 10 spacecraft vehicles

The first questions allowed me to set the scene and the book's structure. The last two questions helped me with the activities within the text, e.g. crossword and Wordsearch,.. As you can see, I used AI for all parts of the book, from the figures, the story, the poems, the book description, the title, and the table of contents.

I've found that I can more easily build a story with a structured approach. Although it takes time and effort, building the story in this way allows me to create consistency. For example, if I want to introduce a character or provide more detail on an object in the story, I know exactly what to do because I can rely on my plot.

One of my last questions has been, "what are the lessons learned from their adventures?" and below the wow result.

Exploration was precisely what I have felt along my journey through various AI solutions and building this book. I am impressed with the AI ability to memorize its own story and build on top.

2. Generate and build images

AI can also generate new images in existing image styles and patterns. Creating images is essential; with this tool, you can make them without a complicated process.

My goal is to generate my images using AI from Midjourney. So, first, I talk to Chat GPT and ask it for a corresponding landscape description of the imaginary surrounding in which I want the tree adventure to take place in. Then, I enter those descriptions into the midjourney image generator and voila!

Out of the results I got, here are some scenarios that could be used as the text input for MidJoruney, and the process of creating an image. Of course, this process is a bit of trial and error, but it is lots of fun to experiment with all the possibilities this creative tool offers.

To create Luna the astronaut, I used the text "Luna is a little astronaut girl with bright blue eyes and a head full of curly red hair. She is dressed in a sleek and shiny astronaut outfit, with a helmet hanging from her shoulder. Luna stands tall and confident, looking out at the vast expanse of the galaxy with wonder and excitement in her eyes." that produced the following results.

For Luna's first exploration adventure is used the following description "landing on a planets surface as astronaut and gets greetings from strange wondrous creatures. In the background ancient ruins at the horizon dark galaxy with colorful nebula" that produced the following results.

For Lunas second adventure i used the landscape description "doughnut shaped spacecraft landing on planet with strange exoterestial creatures in the back ground the galaxy" that produced the following results.

You can always argue and debate about the images, but the fact that you describe what you want in "your own" words is terrific.

3. Design the digital book

I decided to try out Book Bolt?Book Bolt – No Content Book Research, Design, Listing - Book Bolt?to design my book. It's a service that provides a great website and templates for building your pages. It also fully complies with Amazon's KPD and features templates you can use, such as mazes, crosswords, hangman and more. This part was the more tedious part; copy/paste the content I gathered from steps 1 and 2 together and ensured the proper formatting. For each adventure, I added three puzzle activities, and to fill the remaining sites at the end; I added more puzzles, all generated with Chat GPT.

While writing this book, I used Chat GPT to help with content creation but also with the generation of SEO-focused keywords and the book summary. Finally, with my manuscript complete, I uploaded the e-book and paperback to KDP content to publish the books.

Lessons Learned

Wow, what a journey to build a complete book from ideation to final publication in 11 hours! Thinking back to good old Guentbergs first printed bible, it took him several years to develop his printing press and several more years to print the entire bible.

AI will change the way we think and work. It can be revolutionary by enabling us to analyse data in new ways. By embracing AI, our idea generation and content creation processes will become more streamlined, which means less time on repetitive tasks. Ultimately, it means we'll be able to create more personalised and relevant experiences for our users/clients.

In future, it will be hard for us to differentiate between a true artist building art with his/her hand and a creator that uses multiple AI tools for building art. The AI approach can potentially disrupt not only the creative sector, and we mustn't pit them against each other but rather see them as complementary.
