莫言用ChatGPT给余华写颁奖词：自己好几天也没写出来……
Chinese Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan had sought the assistance of ChatGPT for help to write a prize citation for another famous Chinese writer Yu Hua, Mo revealed during the 65th anniversary of the Chinese literary bimonthly (six times a year) magazine Shouhuo (Harvest) in Shanghai on Tuesday.
莫言：颁奖词写了好几天也想不出来
Yu Hua, author of two of the most popular modern Chinese literature novels To Live and Brothers, had recently earned the prestigious top prize for the novel ranking in 2021 with his new novel Wen Cheng (The Lost City) published in 2021.
During the ceremony, as an award presenter for Yu, Mo was tasked with delivering a compelling prize citation.
"I spent several days trying to write one but failed, so I asked a PhD student to make ChatGPT write one for me," Mo said, adding that after he put in the key words including "To Live," "extract a tooth" and "Wen Cheng," the chatbot immediately created a prize citation of over 1,000 words, written in a Shakespearean style.
据介绍，莫言之所以选择这三个关键词，是因为《活着》是余华最著名的小说之一，而“拔牙”则指余华在成为作家之前曾是一名牙医，《文城》作为余华最近的一部小说在庆典上获奖。
The reason for Mo to choose the three key phrases is that To Live is one of Yu's most famous novels, "extract a tooth" refers to the fact that Yu used to be a dentist before he became a writer, and Wen Cheng symbolized Yu's latest novel, which merited the prize at the ceremony.
余华：文学无法高于现实
据了解，这场文学盛会吸引超过百万人次网友收看直播。作家的幽默让大家看到了文学的另一面。有网友留言：“第一次感受到严肃文学可以用这样轻松无束的独特方式，向读者和观众展现和绽放！”
在活动现场，莫言与余华这对文坛老友分享了诸多彼此间的趣闻。
Mo Yan and Yu Hua shared their long-standing friendship and reminisced about various stories they had experienced together.
主持人用莫言的一篇作品名字《三十年前的一场长跑比赛》形容莫言、余华这对老友的关系。“余华根本不是我的对手，从来没有形成威胁。”莫言说，“除了当年在鲁院，他在旁边写东西，笔摩擦纸的声音太响，影响到我的思路。毕业以后就各写各的。”
余华则“爆料”，莫言正在转型成为摄影师，“我的新散文集封面用了莫言拍的照片，问他要不要稿费，他说当然要，收到这笔稿费，我就是摄影师了。”
此外，在活动现场的交谈中，莫言和余华还分享了他们对文学和现实的看法。文学是否基于现实而高于现实？余华回答：“文学无法高于现实，因为现实远远比文学宽广丰富，文学只能摘取一小部分而已。所谓‘文学源于生活而高于生活’是理论家的虚构。写了这么多年，我的体会是，文学确实来源于生活，但绝对不高于生活。”
回应青年读者“有没有一部小说是为自己而写”的提问，莫言说：“每个人不可避免地会把个人经验、经历、生活直接或间接地写到小说里，因此可以说，小说里所有人物身上都有‘我’，但同时又存在着一种辩证，既是我又不是我，既写我又写他人。”
