Japanese female writer Rie Kudan publicly admitted at the Akutagawa Prize award ceremony that her award-winning work "Tokyo-to Dojo-to" used 5% of ChatGPT-generated content, which attracted industry attention. This is not a denial of AI technology, but an affirmation of its use as a creative tool and source of inspiration. Her frankness and positive attitude are in sharp contrast to some artists' concerns about AI infringement, providing a new perspective on the relationship between AI and artistic creation. The following is a detailed interpretation of his speech:
At the Akutagawa Prize award ceremony, Rie Kudan admitted that 5% of the content in "Tokyo-to Dojo-to" was generated by ChatGPT. She regards AI as an aid to creative potential and a source of inspiration, and hopes to maintain a good relationship with AI in the future. This view is different from some artists who are worried about AI infringement, and shows a positive attitude towards generative AI.
Kudan’s remarks provided a new direction of thinking for the application of AI in artistic creation, and also triggered further discussions on issues such as copyright and creative ownership. Her candor is commendable and provides valuable lessons for other artists. In the future, the integration of AI and art will be even closer, and we expect more artists to explore the creative potential of AI and explore effective ways to solve related ethical issues.
