In late 2022, when AI burst into our lives like a storm, I, like so many others was amazed by its power.

Not long after, I began thinking about how I could actually use this new technology. One idea stood out:

“What if AI could create all the content for a book? Could I even publish it without writing a single word myself? Let’s give it a try!”

I decided on a cocktail book as my test project. I asked ChatGPT to list the most popular cocktails, including their ingredients, preparation steps (in both metric and imperial systems), and a short piece of history for each drink. Then, using MidJourney, I generated images of all the cocktails to illustrate the book.

Finally, I brought everything together in Adobe InDesign and laid out the pages. When it came time to publish, I decided to credit the AI’s for their work ChatGPT was listed as the writer and MidJourney as the image creator.

A few weeks later, I published the book on Amazon using their Print on Demand service. To my surprise, the project was a success, without any marketing, I sold more copies than I expected and even received few five-star reviews.
