Create books on any topic with ChatGPT

Hacker News

This weekend wanted to try out the streaming ChatGPT API. As test project, created a simple website, which allows you to create whole books by providing just the title (with optional extra instructions). Given the title of the book, table of contents, chapters and sections with text content are generated. All books are listed on the home page, sorted into topic categories. As a bonus, when reading a specific section of a chapter, you can use the chat interface to ask for clarifications, request more content, list relevant topics, etc. The system does quite well with knowledge based books (history for example) and not so good with literature, where more prompt tweaking is needed. What books would you create? # Examples: The Bible https://the-bible.yo.link Child Psychology for Parents https://child-psychology-for-parents.yo.link ChatGPT: A step towards Artificial General Intelligence https://chatgpt-a-step-towards-agi.yo.link The World History from a global point of view https://the-world-history.yo.link The History of Ukraine https://the-history-of-ukraine.yo.link Art of War: A modern perspective https://art-of-war-a-modern-perspective.yo.link Kamasutra: A modern perspective https://kamasutra-a-modern-perspective.yo.link
