ChatGPT has caused growing worries about the impact of generative artificial intelligence on a range of sectors.

Author Salman Rushdie says that when an AI writing tool tried to produce 300 words in his style, ‘what came out was pure garbage’.

Among book industry players there is “a deep sense of insecurity”, said Juergen Boos, director of the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s biggest, where the topic was in focus last week. A flood of titles that list ChatGPT as a co-author have been offered for sale through Amazon’s e-book self-publishing unit.British author Salman Rushdie told a press conference at the fair that recently someone asked an AI writing tool to produce 300 words in his style.

“So far I’m not that alarmed,” he added, during a rare public appearance since a near-fatal stabbing attack last year in the United States.Jennifer Becker, a German author and academic, echoed his sentiments, telling a panel discussion that the results when it comes to AI writing fiction “are still not that great”.“But I still don’t see the point where we really hand over the writing work to AI completely autonomously. That wouldn’t make for an interesting book.

“The field of science and specialist books is already further along and has already dealt with it more.” “Then you get into a real mess, and it is a huge theme. There is also really a lot of money involved,” he said.Last month, “Game of Thrones” author George RR Martin, John Grisham and Jodi Picoult were among several writers who filed a class-action lawsuit against ChatGPT creator OpenAI over alleged violation of copyrights.
