The winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012, the Chinese author Mo Yan, revealed during the 65th anniversary of the Chinese literary magazine Shouhuo in Shanghai to have resorted to artificial intelligence. He asked a PhD student to use ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art chatbot, to write the mention of the prize on his behalf.
The chatbot quickly generated a speech of more than 1,000 words, with a literary style reminiscent of Shakespeare's plays.
