Di oda day, one Japanese writer wey her name na Rie Kudan win one of di biggest literary award for her kontri. Afta she win, she come tok say na Artificial Intelligence (AI) help her write di book.

She tok say, "I go still dey use di power of AI to write my novels, but I go still allow my creativity shine well well." Na wetin she yarn for di mata.

For press conference, di writer confirm say na about 5% of her book na AI generate am word for word. Funny enough, na dat part di committee wey dey judge di award call "almost perfect."

She no be di first pesin wey don use AI for creative work, and she no go be di last. For example, last year, one Berlin photographer wey him name na Boris Eldagsen reject Sony World Photography Award because di winning photo na AI create am. Him tok say, "AI no be photography, so I no fit collect di award."

Di question of who be di real author of any book dey important. Even if pesin name dey di cover, di process of publishing dey involve many hands. Editors, publishers, and even market demand dey shape wetin we dey read.

Di market sef dey control wetin go sell. If AI fit make text sweet for readers and make di book sell well, di market go push am more. Di creative role of human go dey shift go back seat.

Bible tok say God teach Adam language. Now, human don teach machine. But as we dey teach machine, we dey also dey obsessed with selfie, shopping, and trying to show say we beta pass others. Di way we dey worship ourselves don reach new level.

Di rise of AI dey change di way we dey see creativity. Writers and artists dey vex say AI dey use their work without permission. Last year, many writers sue OpenAI because dem claim say di company use their work to train di AI without their consent.

Even di Merriam-Webster dictionary choose "authentic" as di word of di year for 2023. Dem tok say di meaning of "authentic" don dey blur because of AI and fake news.

Deepfake videos don dey cause wahala too. For Germany, one fake video of di chancellor Olaf Scholz cause kasala. For UK, fake videos of politicians dey trend, and di government dey try investigate di mata.

Di award wey Rie Kudan win don dey since 1935. Dem name am afta Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, one big writer for Japan. Him famous story "Rashomon" inspire di film wey Akira Kurosawa direct, wey make Japanese cinema popular for di world.

For Akutagawa story, di mata na about di murder of one samurai. Di suspects dey give different versions of wetin happen, and di reader no fit know di real truth. Di story dey show say truth fit get many sides.

Di case of Rie Kudan and AI na like dat samurai story. Di author dey, but at di same time, e no dey. She write, but AI help her. She win award, but di question remain: who really deserve am?
