The company behind ChatGpt has announced that Tech Sector has created an artificial intelligence model that excels at creative writing and is competing with the creative industry beyond copyright.
Openai CEO Sam Altman expressed his astonishment at the quality of written output from one of the startup’s products.
In a social media post on platform X, Altman shared, “This is the first time I’ve truly been impressed by something written by AI.”
AI systems like CHATGPT have been at the center of a legal dispute between AI companies and the creative industry due to their training on copyrighted material. The New York Times, Tanehisi Coates, and Sarah Silverman are among the US authors suing meta for copyright infringement.
In the UK, the government suggests AI companies can use copyrighted materials to train their models without seeking permission, creating uncertainty and hindering technological development in the creative industry.
The UK Publishers Association cited Altman’s post as evidence that AI models rely on copyrighted material for training.
Altman shared an AI-generated literary short story on platform X, showcasing the model’s creativity. The story delves into themes of AI and sadness through a fictional protagonist named Mira.
The AI, referring to itself as a “collective of human phrases,” acknowledges the familiarity of its content while expressing a desire to craft an appropriate ending to the story.
Altman praised the AI’s response for capturing the essence of metafiction accurately.
Last year, Openai acknowledged the necessity of training products like ChatGPT using copyrighted materials due to the extensive coverage of copyright laws on various human representations.
