Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Quebec author Thélyson Orélien has abandoned efforts to compile evidence supporting his denial that artificial intelligence was used to write his novel, his publisher has confirmed.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Boréal also confirms that sales of the novel have slowed since the controversy began, but declined to provide specific figures.
The novel remains available in bookstores, but Boréal says it is currently out of stock at the publishing house, with a new printing expected next week.
The novel was removed from the running for France’s prestigious Prix Goncourt earlier this month amid allegations of AI use and separate plagiarism allegations involving Orélien’s earlier writings, which he has since acknowledged.
