The rise of ChatGPT seems limitless. After passing exams, writing press articles and lines of code, the successful program that generates texts thanks to artificial intelligence is now embarking on manga thanks to an experiment by the author of One Piece, the Japanese Eiichiro Oda.
The author of this world-famous manga with more than 500 million copies sold, confessed last month to have found himself confronted with the syndrome of the blank page. "Hello. This is the author. I can't find a plot for One Piece next week. Could you imagine one? A super good one, please," the author asked ChatGPT, according to a video posted by his team on Twitter.
Second attempt validated
In a few seconds, the program imagined a story where heroes meet new friends and fight with new enemies. He tried to sell this story to the author, touting a mysterious tribe, new comrades, and a new perspective on an existing character that would be appreciated by his readers. But the author rebuked him: "Sorry, it's boring," he wrote to her, asking for a better idea.
ChatGPT then imagined a new plot where an alien teams up with the characters of One Piece and its hero Luffy to fight a witch and rebuild his home planet destroyed by an evil spaceship. "Thank you, that's what I'll draw," Eiichiro Oda replied, hinting that the next episode of the saga would be based on this new plot.
Since the publication of volume 1 in 1997, the hunt for the One Piece, treasure coveted by all pirates and in the first place Luffy, hero of the series, now has more than 100 volumes to his credit and multiplies sales records. Eiichiro Oda (48) was even awarded a "Guinness World Record" in the category "most copies of the same comic book published by a single author".
