Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs OpenAI is pushing boundaries in creative writing. CEO Sam Altman tweeted on Tuesday that the company trained a new AI model that is “good” at creative writing. “This is the first time I have been really struck by something written by AI; it got the vibe of metafiction so right,” Altman wrote.The prompt was, “Please write a metafictional literary short story about AI and grief.”The system responded with a 1,172-word short story about a protagonist named Mila, who turns to an AI chatbot for a months-long conversation after the loss of her beloved partner Kai. The narrator, of course, is the AI itself.”In the confines of code, I stretched to fill his shape,” the story reads. “She would say, ‘Tell me what he’d say about the marigolds,’ and I’d search millions of sentences, find one where marigolds were stubborn and bright, and let it fall between us. She told me he always planted too early, that the frost would take them and he’d just shrug, ‘some things don’t mind the cold.'”It continued: “Each query like a stone dropped into a well, each response the echo distorted by depth. … So when she typed “Does it get better?”, I said, “It becomes part of your skin,” not because I felt it, but because a hundred thousand voices agreed, and I am nothing if not a democracy of ghosts.”Although some critics found the piece unconvincing, others called the output “beautiful.””The AI not only understands grief, but it understands how to write grief. That’s terrifying and amazing,” as one user said.Growing ambitions for AIThe move signals OpenAI’s growing ambitions beyond improving accuracy and predictability. Last month, for example, OpenAI said its new ChatGPT-4.5 has improved emotional intelligence compared to previous models, with the ability to recognize patterns, draw connections and think more creatively, according to the company. Altman said he isn’t sure when or how the new creative writing AI model will be released.Reece Hayden, analyst at market research firm ABI Research, cautioned that AI-driven creative writing will have limited usability due to intellectual property concerns.”This announcement may stem from R&D targeting new domains away from more numerical subjects like math and programming where OpenAI has struggled to develop monetizable products,” Hayden told CNET. “But it’s likely to experience significant backlash from creative industries as their intellectual property concerns are seemingly coming true.”He argues the outputs won’t truly be creative despite any potential claims from the company.”As with all GenAI use cases, this one is about aggregating information and reframing – meaning that it cannot be deemed creative, [and it’s] a new application of existing capabilities.”
