Japan literary laureate unashamed about using ChatGPT

Japanese writer Rei Kudan, winner of the country's most prestigious literary award, has admitted that the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT wrote about 5% of her Akutagawa Prize-winning novel.

The Akutagawa Prize was awarded to the novel "Tokyo-to Dojo-to", as the jury described it as having a degree of perfection that is difficult to find fault with.

Ray Kudan noted that “GBT Chat” helped her highlight her literary skills. She said that she used "all the capabilities of artificial intelligence" in writing, noting that about 5% of the text was generated by artificial intelligence.
