The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Crafting a Speech by a Nobel Prize Winner in Literature

Award-winning Chinese Writer Mo Yan Admits to Using AI in his Writing

Introduction

A Chinese novelist and short story writer, Mo Yan, has won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature for his successful blending of fiction, fact, and historical and social dimensions in his novels and non-fiction works. Mo Yan recently admitted to using social intelligence in his writing, particularly through the chatGPT chatbot, during a ceremony held by the Chinese literary magazine Shouhuo on its 65th anniversary.

Mo Yan and His Writing Career

Mo Yan is described as “one of China’s most famous writers, and his works are the most prevented by the authorities from publishing,” according to Agency read in his biography. His latest work, a novel released in 2021, entitled “Wen Cheng, The Lost City,” won the prestigious first prize in the 2021 novel charts and continues to be a bestseller in different countries.

Mo Yan’s Use of Chatbot AI

In his recent speech, Mo Yan admitted that he encountered difficulties writing it and failed in several attempts to weave the phrases he needed. He then asked for help through a PhD student who uses GBT chat, who provided him with key phrases representing aspects of an assignment from the life of his friend, Yu Hua. These quick phrases allowed him to produce a 1,000-word speech “in a literary style reminiscent of the works of Shakespeare,” as he said in his admission.

Reaction to Mo Yan’s Use of AI in Writing

Mo Yan’s call for periods of “artificial intelligence” in literary writing sparked discussions on communication sites, as well as among critics and writers attending the ceremony. Some put in doubt the ability of AI to be original and creative in writing, but others felt that his use of small talk was important in the growing intersection between technology and literature. This intersection shows how artificial intelligence continues to influence various creative fields, offering new perspectives and innovative solutions for the future of writing.
