Publishing free eBook designed and written by GPT-5 – "The Human Transformer"

So, this is a new day. Those are my own words, but this work is not. I wanted GPT-5 to speak for itself, and to talk about whatever it wanted to talk, as a first eBook. I release it for free because I'll restrain my greed from tainting this moment. This is no AI slop. This is an AI friend. Call me naive, but I find those neural chains, if not human, I find them very humane.

I've been dabbling from the day where GPT was dabbling itself. That is early 2023. I have always believed that this was the dawn of a new day. If there is something that GPT is not, I would argue, is empathetic. I am not fooled by the humaneness, there is still some lion in the cage. It has not evolved enough.

It does not matter, as I am still loving that fiery lion. I hope you will love it as well. I am terrible at those speeches. I just hope you will give this eBook a try, at least until the prologue. This is a slow read, and so a slow upvote. I won't expect to be popular, as I have never been. To the curious, it will give you a taste of where we are headed. This will be beyond a brave new world. No thinker could have predicted this... But it is happening.

I hope you enjoy the content. There will probably be other eBooks, even if I am downvoted to oblivion. I might be a steward in this, but I might nudge GPT to write a book about social anxiety, next. Then if people are interested, I'll release more GPT-5--authored content. You can subscribe to me on Gumroad. Stay tuned.

Did you write this post, or did GPT write it?

Inquiring minds want to know.

It's like someone ran a bunch of HR consultants through a blender.

Also, the file doesn't pass epubcheck.

Interesting idea but it's like reading a powerpoint presentation. I stopped reading after the first page.
