I Used AI to Write, Illustrate, and Publish a Children’s Book; Here’s What I Learned (Pt. 1)

I dumped all over the concept a month ago, but figured I should put my money where my mouth is and try it for myself.

A month ago, I wrote an article about the “making children’s books with AI, and selling them on Amazon KDP” side hustle.

It was my first article on Medium and has become my most successful piece of writing on Medium so far. Despite constant cross-analysis, I don’t really know why. Maybe you can tell me. You can check it out here —

I still stand by the assertion that you are not going to make millions doing this. Likely not even thousands.
