    I can’t find anything about the history of this “award.” It’s possible that it was created simply so that this novel could be given it. An AI that could genuinely write something good would be a feather in the cap for whoever developed it.

      Right? I’ve never read anything written by AI that didn’t read like an 11th grader trying to pad the word count on their paper.

        Indeed. Current AI reminds me of a former colleague’s complaint about their comp students: They can fill a blue book but never actually say anything.

    The quality of the writing (if the first few lines are any indication) seems pretty poor to me. Akin to a poorly written YA novel.

      Could be a result of translation, the article says it was written in Chinese.

      Can’t say for sure though, the article stops loading right as it gets to the point where it shows the first 3 lines :/

    Jiangsu is a province of China, which is geographically equivalent to a US state.

    The novel was submitted to the competition held by the Jiangsu Science Writers Association. At the October awards ceremony it won a second prize, alongside 17 other stories, meaning it won votes from three of the six judges.
