Rie Kudan said that ChatGPT helped her realize her creative potential. At the awards ceremony, she confessed:- "In creating this book, I actively utilized the likes of ChatGPTGenerative AI." She estimates that about 51 TP3T of the novel's content was extracted directly from AI-generated sentences.
In addition to using AI in her work, Rie Kudan sees AI as a source of inspiration and a companion in her creative process. She reveals that she often communicates with the AI, pouring out inner thoughts that she "can't talk about with anyone else." In some cases, ChatGPT's answers have even inspired conversations in her novels.
Unlike some artists who worry about copyright infringement by AI companies, Asahi sees AI as a complement to human capabilities. She says she hopes to maintain a "good relationship" with AI in the future, and to develop creativity in an environment where AI can coexist. This attitude is different from that of someFamousWriters such as John Grisham, Jodi Picoult and Game of Thrones author George RR Martin, as well as the Writers Guild, have contrasting views.
FamousHorror author Stephen King shares a similar view to Asahi, believing that AI is a supplement to human skills and is incapable of creating truly creative moments.King doesn't feel threatened by AI systems being trained on his work.
Rie Kudan's experience presents a different view of generative AI as a useful tool for human creativity rather than a threat to past works. This may represent the possibility of a future in which literary creation and AI are symbiotic.
