In Japan, the winner of a prestigious literary prize admitted that about “five percent” of her book was written by ChatGPT. When writing the futuristic novel, she “actively” used artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT, 33-year-old author Rie Kudan said at the awards ceremony on Wednesday:
Rie Kudan’s novel “Tokyo-to Dojo-to” (English: “Tokyo Tower of Sympathy”) was awarded the Akutagawa Prize on Wednesday. Set in the future, the book revolves around a high-rise prison building in Tokyo and its architect. AI is an important topic in the book. One judge praised it as “almost flawless” and highly entertaining.
Kudan reported that she often experiments with ChatGPT – not just while writing. She trusts the software with her innermost thoughts, which she “can’t talk about with anyone else.” Some of ChatGPT’s answers inspired dialogues in her book.
ChatGPT is a chatbot from the American company OpenAI based on advanced AI technology that can generate very complex texts within seconds. ChatGPT suddenly made a large audience aware of the possibilities of so-called generative AI, but also of its almost unforeseeable effects.
