On April 14, when the 2022 People’s Literature Award was awarded, a literary talk was held on the banks of the Chishui River. Jia Pingwa, Shu Ting, Xu Gang, Xu Zechen, Chen Tao and other writers participated and talked about the impact of ChatGPT on literary creation. Jia Pingwa and Shu Ting also expressed special expectations for young writers.

“Post-90s” writers, this year’s Newcomer Award winner Li Lu and friends have all tried ChatGPT, and everyone found that given it a proposition, it can write a pretty good novel very completely. Lilu said: “Its development and evolution will make current writers feel a little panic, but for us now, what we can do is to have more gatherings with friends and see more of others.” , a presence that nourishes our hearts and our literature.”

“Post-90s” writer and another winner of the Newcomer Award, Kang Yan, told The Paper that the impact of ChatGPT on writing in a general sense is unquestionable, such as newsletters, conference manuscripts, and highly repetitive online literature. For uniquely spiritual writing, it should be difficult for GPT to replace it in the foreseeable future. “Artificial intelligence can construct plots, depict characters, and narrate stories, but it is impossible to write a unique ‘this one’, because each writer’s vision is unique, like a refracting mirror, which uniquely refracts reality and writes It must be full of dirt and sand, delicate and rough, immature and profound. This kind of unique personality artificial intelligence cannot be perfectly reproduced and imitated, and Tolstoy and Lu Xun cannot be replaced by machines.”

According to Pompeii, the winner of this year’s Novel Award, ChatGPT can indeed participate in the design of certain creative routines, such as the plot design of genre novels or film and television dramas, but it is difficult for routine things to be truly original. Of course, machine computing It is also difficult to generate texts with unique emotions, temperature and thoughts, which is also the reason for the survival of true art. Therefore, a truly good writer need not be pessimistic. Such challenges and crises are expected to stimulate real creativity.

Xu Zechen, deputy editor-in-chief of “People’s Literature”, said that technology will accelerate development, and now ChatGPT is getting more and more perfect, the answers are getting more and more correct, and the things written are more and more satisfactory, but in the end it is not a person, it lacks literature The content and craftsmanship in it. “From this point of view, ChatGPT may not be a problem we need to worry about, but it reminds us that we need to push our skills forward and surpass the world. Only in this way can you Leave artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT far away, otherwise our profession will indeed become a high-risk profession.”

Chen Tao, deputy editor-in-chief of “People’s Literature”, also believes that the emergence of ChatGPT has a great impact on literary writers. With the upgrade and iteration, it is enough to challenge and defeat the vast majority of writers. “But the emergence of ChatGPT is not a bad thing. Its essential attribute is instrumentality. At the same time, ChatGPT is still a technology after all, and it also urges us writers to calm down from the impetuous state and strive to create personal style. Excellent works that are highly recognizable and can represent the height of human thought and the depth of humanity.”
