Summary

  • ChatGPT has a new model for creative writing, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sharing a short story it wrote as an example of its capabilities.
  • The story was met with mixed reactions, with some concerned about the future of human writers, while others felt it was not well written.
  • Artificial intelligence is good at tasks that have a defined process, but fiction writing requires a level of creativity that AI is not capable of.
  • AI works by replicating information it has absorbed from other sources, rather than creating new ideas and experiences through lived experiences.
  • While AI will likely never be as good as humans at creative writing, books produced by AI are already widely available and may become more common due to their cost-effectiveness.
