Debate over AI-written books: French journalist backs AI authorship, others warn of industry collapse
TuhinChakr · x · 2026-09-22
French tech journalist Jerome Colombain argues that using AI to write a book in 2026 is fine — ghost writers have always existed, and what matters is the author's responsibility; not using AI is what's foolish.
Tuhin Chakraborty pushes back: if everyone starts writing books with AI trained on human books, it creates serious problems and could destroy a thriving publishing industry — highlighting the loop of models absorbing human writing and flooding the market with AI-generated text.
