Dalibor worked day and night for 30 full days. But, he says, it paid off to the max. During that time, he became a writer and journalist, but also a programmer, designer and marketing expert.
In that month, he also found a phenomenal psychologist and writer and published her book, which became a bestseller. "New York magazine" also wrote about her.
Maybe this story doesn't suit someone, they're looking for something in it. Feel free to check on the internet. They will find Dalibor's site where the book is being sold. The psychologist specializes in the relationship with children, and the book, along with several other supplements offered on the site, gives clear instructions - how to be modern parents, who will not repeat their own mistakes.
“Okay, here's the explanation – I made everything with of ChatGPT", says Dalibor for "Vreme".
Excuse me? How?
He explained that he became a programmer, author, designer, content creator and marketing expert overnight. He made up that fake writer, psychotherapist which deals with children.
"I read a book on the subject, a bestseller from America, and it dawned on me," he says. "I tasked the artificial intelligence with reducing the four hundred pages of a real book to about a hundred. Everything is completely different, it's not plagiarism. I also gave the instructions for each chapter."
The book talks about how to bridge the gap - for a mother to recognize the mistakes that her parents made, so that she does not apply those mistakes to her children.
"By God, it took us four or five days to 'write' it together. I mean, me and the artificial intelligence," he adds.
Very beautiful, but she's just as smart
Then Dalibor designed the internet platform and the book itself, and ChatGPT gave him the female character of the author, who, not unimportantly, is very beautiful. Dalibor then created a page on Wikipedia about her.
"She graduated from the Sorbonne and has great achievements, she wrote that book that has already sold 250.000 copies," he says and cannot contain his laughter.
"I also wrote interviews with her, which were published on also fake websites that serve just that. When people Google her name, they see from those interviews that she is very smart. They are a little difficult to find on the Internet, but it doesn't matter. If someone really tries, they will find them."
Dalibor threw himself further into work, tasked artificial intelligence to create a cover for the book and tried to sell the whole package on the Internet.
"It's selling very well. Since my costs are zero, I give Facebook half the money to find buyers and everything else is mine. Fantastic!", he concludes.
He says that in 10 days he takes about 1.000 euros in net earnings. It does not sell hardcovers, but only online reading, and the materials cost from 10 to 12 euros per book, picture book or manual, depending on the selection.
Target level
In the meantime, his psychotherapist, writer and best-selling author also wrote a picture book - about ten different games you can play with children that are related to emotions.
She also created a great emotional handbook, which is currently the best seller. It has 30 pages, and each page is a specific emotion. It contains clear instructions for children to recognize emotions.
"Through play, you connect with the child on a higher, meta level," explains Dalibor. Interestingly, Facebook also belongs to a company called - Meta.
Where is the ethics in this?
Daliboru is not the real name of our interlocutor. He agreed to speak for "Vreme" only on the condition that we do not publish his name, as well as the website and the name of the book. It is also important to know that the site is not in English or Serbian, so it is not easy to find it from the Serbian market.
He doesn't even know many people from his, to put it mildly, unusual business. He talked about him with several friends and colleagues from his day job. Most people ask him about the obvious ethical shortcomings of the project, that is, is he ashamed that he took someone else's book, processed it with someone else's help, made a hundred fake interviews and offered it all to people - to pay for it?
"I had ethical dilemmas, but, what should I do, I have to pay the bills with something. I am in a specific situation, so otherwise I would be left without an apartment and on the street," he answers.
Of the 300 potential criminal charges, the most problematic question is why he chose children as the subject of his fake specialist book?
Dalibor, he says, thought about all these questions for a long time.
"It's very clear to me that the question of ethics is at the center, it's clear to me that people can only see it as a scam," he says. "But, I think that in my specific case, that unethical and immoral approach does not produce any negative consequences, but the mothers of children aged 2 to 7 get some concrete answers to a topic that bothers them or they are in doubt, and I don't have any problem with that. That's it - it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, it's important that it catches mice."
Dalibor's logic is, in fact, that parents are offered the ideas of an author from Harvard, who actually wrote a book on this topic and is absolutely qualified to speak about it.
What he identified as a problem, but legally, is that he told ChatGPT to make the book by referencing an already known one, but not to plagiarize it. The artificial intelligence asked him for the author's permission, and Dalibor confirmed that he had it. Although, of course, there is none.
Turbo pace
Not everything ChatGPT did. In order for Dalibor to achieve all this, he would get up at seven in the morning and take the child to kindergarten, which made him understand the struggles of modern parenting.
Then he would go to his permanent job, where he also worked on the website along the way, then he would return to pick up the child and be with him until nine in the evening. Then he threw himself into the whole idea again and worked with his partner ChatGPT until four in the morning.
There were a billion things there, he says. He thought he was going crazy, there were so many errors in the codes. Especially when you see code for the first time in your life. Then one damn day the site crashed, so he struggled to get it up for several days.
"But then everything started, clean money. Everything is paid by card, a concept I dreamed of. I wanted to do something like this a few years ago with cheap products from Asia, but I had a hundred problems, due to delivery and a hundred miracles," he says.
"I cracked this option myself and I'm very proud of it. The only question is how long it will take for others to crack this story," he says about his specific business, in which the only thing he takes is not fake money.
"It's a utopia," says Dalibor.
He used to work in journalism, which he says helped him a lot.
