Will Amazon KDP Rank Books Written by ChatGPT? (The TRUTH)

About this video

Sean argues Amazon KDP will rank ChatGPT-written books if the content is good, drawing a parallel with Google. He notes Google initially warned against AI content but later said appropriate use of AI/automation is not against its guidelines unless used to spam or manipulate rankings, and that AI content gets no special gain — it ranks if it is useful, helpful and original. He reasons Amazon likewise cares about customer experience: low-quality books, whether human- or AI-written, are the problem, just as ghostwritten books can be excellent or poor. The weakness of pure AI writing, he says, is the missing human element — personal stories and experience are why readers buy non-fiction, beyond basic information they could Google. His prescription is to use AI as a tool, not a replacement: add your own input, stories and fact-checking (ChatGPT is often wrong), and rewrite. He demonstrates pasting sample ChatGPT text into Originality.ai, which scored it 95% AI, then paraphrasing it with QuillBot and rescanning at 1% AI, suggesting aiming below 6%. He predicts Amazon will monitor for excessive AI/spam rather than ban AI outright, with account termination a risk for repeated spam.

Key takeaways

• Sean’s thesis: ranking follows quality and customer experience, not whether AI or a human/ghostwriter produced the text
• Use AI as a tool, not a replacement — add personal stories, experience, your own input and fact-checking
• Pure AI text lacks the human element that makes non-fiction sell: readers buy the author’s experience, not just information
• Demo workflow: check with Originality.ai (sample scored 95% AI), paraphrase with QuillBot, rescan (scored 1%); Sean suggests aiming below 6%
• Prediction, not policy: he expects Amazon to monitor/crack down on spam and excessive-AI low-quality books, not ban AI content outright
