OpenAI – the firm behind ChatGPT – has announced it has developed an artificial intelligence model that is “good at creative writing”.

OpenAI – the firm behind ChatGPT- has developed an artificial intelligence model that is “good at creative writing”.

The chief executive of OpenAI, Sam Altman, said it was the first time he had been “really struck” by the written output of one of the company’s products.

In a post on the social media platform X, Sam wrote: “We trained a new model that is good at creative writing (not sure yet how/when it will get released).

“This is the first time I have been really struck by something written by AI.”

The model has not been named yet and it has not been released publicly.

AI systems like Chat GPT are currently the subject of a row within the creative industries because their underlying models use publicly available data which includes copyright-protected material like journalism and novels.

In response to the announcement of the new model, Dan Conway, the UK Publishers Association’s chief executive said: “This new example from OpenAI is further proof that these models are training on copyright-protected literary content. Make it fair, Sam.”
