I generate and sell books that summarize historical events. I was actually ready to launch last month until I realized I could generate extremely realistic photographs in Midjourney and splice them between paragraphs using a simple python script, so I went back and did another pass.

My process involves generating chapters as markdown, using a script to join chapters together, and then finally converting the markdown to ebooks using Gitbook.




You really need to tell people that the images are AI-generated. Anyone who remotely cares about history will feel very upset otherwise. Even using real images in the wrong context is a big no-no.

Honestly, for anything non-fiction, I would strongly advise against using fake images.


Hey, had a similar idea, would be great to chat - can reach me at my username on google’s mail.
