OpenAI, led by CEO Sam Altman, has developed a new artificial intelligence model that excels in creative writing. Altman shared a sample of the model's work, a metafictional literary short story about AI and grief, which he described as the first time he was 'really struck' by AI-generated content. The model, which has not been named or scheduled for release, moves beyond OpenAI's traditional focus on more structured fields like math and programming. OpenAI is currently experiencing 'tremendous demand' across all its segments, including consumers, businesses, educators, and developers. Oliver Jay, the company's head of international strategy, highlighted OpenAI's efforts to meet this demand, which has recently seen ChatGPT exceed 400 million weekly active users. The introduction of this creative writing model comes amidst ongoing copyright disputes between tech firms and the creative industries. OpenAI's use of copyrighted material to train its models has sparked legal battles, yet Altman's enthusiasm for the new model suggests a continued push towards integrating AI into more creative domains.
