A real full-fledged Korean novel written by AI has been published. Its AI author has been called Birampurg. The name of the novel is The World From Now On.
In the past, there were crude attempts to produce a novel powered by AI. There was one such attempt in Russia in 2008, and one in Japan in 2016.
The present Korean novel is woven around five professionals trying to understand the meaning of human existence. It is a 560-page work.
A Korean novelist Kim has acted as a director for this project. He used to instruct AI after checking results.
AI Writer was fed with 1000 books to make it learn writing style. It was not necessary to check grammar and edit the book. The writing guide was fed with well-defined techniques in codes. Its acquired knowledge was used to draw details from thousands of books the engine had been made to read.
Of course, AI too experiences the Writer’s Block and becomes quiet for certain periods. At times, the expressions go overboard, or it uses slang or outdated language. Here Kim as the director of the project intervened and corrected the course. The whole project took 7 years to complete.
AI has also been used in solving cross words and in copywriting for advertising.
Can AI replace human writers? Is it possible to get Shakespeares and Byrons through AI?
AI now uses Artificial Neural Network. It uses 175 billion parameters. It has developed GPT-3, almost like an artificial brain. It is a Natural Language Processor (NLP). It can complete a prompt given. Its training material is the entire Internet. If it is given some parts of the texts, it can predict the further parts. It writes in all sorts of styles. GPT-3 can be as convincing as a human author.
