OpenAI's new model excels in creative writing skills

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has praised a new AI model that shows strong skills in creative writing. He recently shared a short story produced by the model. In the story, a character named Mila talks to an AI chatbot about losing her partner. Altman believes the AI captures the essence of metafiction well. However, the model has not yet been released. The development of this model signals OpenAI's interests shifting towards creative tasks. Previous AI models have struggled with writing, but this one shows promise in storytelling. Analysts suggest this change might stem from a desire to explore new areas where the company can make money. However, it could face backlash from authors who are concerned about the use of their work for training. Responses to the short story have been mixed. Some, like novelist Jeanette Winterson, found it "beautiful and moving" for its insight into human emotions. Others, like Kyle Barr, were critical, declaring the writing poor regardless of the AI's improvements. As OpenAI continues to release new models, the future for human authors appears uncertain, leading to fears about a possible market takeover by AI-generated content.
