I’d love to propose an idea that could redefine books: ChatGPT-generated digital books, created from web sources, with full references, structured chapters, and the ability to auto-update over time.
Here’s the idea:
- Ask and Receive a Digital Book: Users request a book on any topic (“History of Alaska,” “Where Spiders Live,” etc) and the AI generates a fully structured, multi-chapter book.
- Web-Sourced References: All information links to web sources.
- Auto-Updates: As new information emerges online, the book can update itself, keeping content new.
- Library: Books can be saved and organized in a dedicated book section.
Benefits:
- Deep, book-level knowledge instantly — far beyond chat responses.
- Time & cost savings — no need to go to a library or pay for expensive books ever again.
- Always up-to-date — knowledge changes, AI books update.
- Ultra-personalized — books match user ideas exactly since ChatGPT understands what people say.
This feature would revolutionize education, research, and knowledge access. The impact is enormous: fair, free, personalized, current, and portable books at planetary scale. Anyone could generate a fully web referenced, book-level deep dive on any topic imaginable in minutes.
