Oda’s AI-‘written’ One Piece chapter weirdly makes sense
One Piece, one of the world’s most popular and enduring manga, might get a chapter written by AI. Last week, One Piece creatorEiichiro Oda asked ChatGPT to write the next chapter of the manga.

Together with the Straw Hats, the characters end up beating the witch and proceed to rebuild the alien’s planet.
