A Japanese woman received a prestigious award for a novel, and then admitted that she wrote it using artificial intelligence
In Japan, the writer Rie Kudan received the prestigious Akugatawa Literary Prize for her novel. The writer later admitted that she wrote about 5% of the novel using ChatGPT.
This is reported by RFI.
The writer revealed that 5% of the book was written using the ChatGPT chat bot only after receiving the award.
“Sometimes I consult an AI about concerns I have that I can't talk to anyone else about. I used ChatGPT's generative AI extensively when writing this book. About five percent of the book is verbatim quotes “I would like to continue writing novels that allow me to express my creativity by effectively using AI,” she said.
Rie Kudan's novel Tokyo-to Dojo-to (Tokyo Tower of Compassion) received the Akutagawa Prize, which is awarded every two years. The judges described it as “almost flawless” and “universally enjoyable.”
The book takes place in futuristic Tokyo. In the center is the story of an architect who designed a high-rise tower where criminals are kept in comfort. The architect herself is dissatisfied with such tolerance from society. The book also touches on the topic of artificial intelligence.
On social media, opinions on Kudan's unorthodox approach to writing are divided, with skeptics calling it morally questionable and undeserving of reward.
But others noted her creativity and the effort she made to experiment with different clues.
Note that the Ryunosuke Akutagawa Classic of Japanese Literature Prize was founded in 1935.
Previously, Microsoft co-founder, billionaire Bill Gates said that artificial intelligence will displace about 40% of workers.
