CBC reports that Quebec author Thélyson Orélien, accused of using AI in his award-winning novel, has been dropped by his publisher. He had denied using AI but admitted to past plagiarism. Publisher akpiper offers a framing for the AI-authorship debate: authors enter an implicit contract with readers—human input is essential, technology may serve as a tool but not a replacement, and its use must be clearly signalled. AI-authored books, she argues, replace that human vision entirely.
