The computer, placing priority on the pursuit of its own joy, stopped working for humans.
While the four stories were generated through AI, 80% of the work had human involvement.
The team submitted their novel to Nikkei Hoshi Shinichi Literary Award, which accepts submissions from humans and machines.
11 of the submission received were written with the help of AI programmes.
Humans decided the parameters for the novel, such as the plot and gender of characters.
The award had a four-stage screening process, and the details are not made public.
The two teams submitted four novels, and at least one of them reportedly passed the first screening process.
The fact that the novels had been written using AI programs was not known to the judges.

The team is also involved in research to have AI create a story plot.
