KDP's New Rules for AI Books Explained!

Amazon KDP recently introduced a new section in the uploading process, requiring authors to disclose if they’ve used AI-generated content in their books.

Indeed, the KDP community seems torn about it. While some see it as the end of AI-based content creation, others are frustrated by the seeming strictness of the guidelines. However, I believe this is a significant step in the right direction.

Watch the video below for my thoughts on the new rules for AI Books.
