You asked me b4 if I tried Grok... Well after your question, I have been messing with it lately. Had it write me out 4 graphic erotic novels, because it's the only one I found that has no filter. Don't know of others. The books range from 40k-60k of words. I have it write chapter by chapter and put them into Word then I edit them and proof them over. Published two under pen names of chicks so far. Still editing others. The issue I find is that using only the free version of Grok, doubt the paid is different, only that you can ask it multiple questions, is that Grok forgets what it output in the same chat window. But I found a kind of work around that if anyone else wants to use the same route that you can upload your Word doc to Google Drive of the existing output and it will be able to read the entire document.
Grok, and I'm sure many others has a character limitation. I think Grok is 140k-162k characters. and it will lose what it's reading. I learned that uploading directly in Grok that it would say to me I can only see chapters 1-5 then jumps to the end and I thought the issue was my word doc. So I asked it what was the most efficient way for it to read the whole manuscript and it told me put the doc on Google Drive and it was able to read the entire manuscript. It will critique and grade the finished product for publishing, proofreading and redundancy check amongst other things like checking for continuity as it needs it writing chapter after chapter and being stopped anytime you ask it to rewrite because chapters came up short like 1k words or I ran out of questions I was allowed to ask because it only gives you 20 questions withing 2 hours. It's tedious rereading, rewriting, editing, but my goal is just to have passive income for a few days of work.
I saw others, on Reddit who created other things like useful PDF docs that people commonly need for business or to solve a problem, contracts or administrative docs. And they sell that as a hustle using Etsy and some others like Gumroad, Payhip. Then they get traffic using Reddit posts in comments, Pinterest and answering Quora questions with their link related to their topic.
Like I've used AI to make me images for prints for poster art, tees and sold them on Etsy. They are still up but I do no promotion, need to, but have sold under 100 so far, of my art. Cost me nothing so...
Just food for thought.
Sorry if this is too Collin Powell, but someone may want to use the hustle as well.
And as I make bread from the books, if Grok doesnt change it's functionality, I may just subscribe to it. $30 a month its at now, hope it doesnt lose it's raw output but I have learned messing with each of the many chat AI sources, each has it's strengths, and it's all catered to what you want from it and how well you ask it.
Love that I can tell Grok to write in this or that writers tone and change the scene to this or that. only thing you have to curb it from doing is describing the details of things redundantly. Like characters, scenes, sexual descriptions. as long as you tell it to variate it or use a synonym phrase tool, you good. But it will duplicate some paragraphs to describe shit and it's kinda annoying....
