    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”.
