ChatGPT Captivates Publishing World... 17 Titles Released in Succession

In the publishing industry, the interactive artificial intelligence (AI) ChatGPT is attracting great attention. As publishers continue to release related books, 17 titles have been published from February to recently.

According to the online bookstore Yes24 on the 8th, books such as "45 Ways to Find the Purpose of Life" written by ChatGPT, KAIST Professor Kim Dae-sik's "The Future of Humanity Asked to ChatGPT," and Ban Byung-hyun's "ChatGPT: The Singularity Finally Arrives" have been published one after another from February to recently. This week, "Writing in the ChatGPT Era" by Jang Min, a concurrent professor at POSTECH, and "Chat GPT: People Who Seize Opportunities" by IT solution expert Lee Se-hoon were published.

In addition, about 10 other titles are being prepared for publication, including "ChatGPT User Manual," "ChatGPT New Opportunities," "Humans Asking Questions, AI Answering," "Professor Kim Dae-sik's Artificial Intelligence for Children," "ChatGPT: World Future Report," "ChatGPT 2023," "ChatGPT Revolution," and "ChatGPT Answers Life's Questions."

This trend also seems to be related to sales volume. In January, sales of ChatGPT-related books increased 3.4 times compared to the previous month (December 2022), and sales in February surged 94.5 times compared to January. Based on February sales, the purchase share was highest among people in their 40s at 19.3%, followed by those in their 50s (18.8%) and 30s (10.1%). Men (60.5%) showed slightly more interest than women (39.5%).

Kim Sang-geun, an economics and management PD at Yes24, said, "ChatGPT is a technology that can be easily accessed with just a few clicks, so I think even general readers had a strong initial reaction." He added, "Related book publications and sales are expected to steadily increase in the first half of this year."
