    Or, and hear me out, King could collaborate with another human writer to do the exact same fucking thing to promote human creativity instead of giving AI any more publicity.

      Well no shit. You could also maybe stop a tank if you stand in front of it, but maybe it’ll just keep going.

      I mention King because he did a similar thing before. He wrote two books, one as himself and one as his alter ego Richard Bachman, and the two books — Desperation and The Regulators — mirrored one another. He also was one of the first nationally/internationally published authors to support ebook (he released a book online only).

        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”.
