CEO Sam Altman shares an AI-generated metafictional short story, sparking discussions about copyright and the role of AI in creative industries.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a new AI model capable of producing advanced creative writing, describing it as the first time he was 'really struck' by AI-written content.
Altman shared an example of the model's output—a metafictional short story about AI and grief—highlighting its ability to capture complex literary tones.
The model’s training on publicly available data, including copyrighted material, has reignited debates over AI's impact on creative industries and intellectual property rights.
