    A recent winner of the Akutagawa prize in Japan said she used chatbots to write around 5% of her novel.

    After 33-year-old writer Rie Kudan won the Akutagawa Prize last week, she told reporters that a small portion of her book, Tokyo-to Dojo-to (Tokyo Sympathy Tower), was lifted verbatim from ChatGPT.

    “This is a novel written by making full use of a generative A.I.,” Kudan said in her acceptance speech, according to the Japan Times’ Thu-Huong Ha. “Probably about 5 percent of the whole text is written directly from the generative A.I. I would like to work well with them to express my creativity.” https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/this-award-winning-japanese-novel-was-written-partly-by-chatgpt-180983641/


    What about publishing a collection of short stories, some of which have human authors and others from LLMs. You could call it, “2 truths and an AI”.
