Prix Goncourt winner admits using ChatGPT — after jury expelled another book over AI use
nordicinst · x · 2026-11-06
Philippe Jaenada, winner of France's Prix Goncourt for L'Inconnue du quai de Javel, admitted using AI three times while writing the novel: slipping in a ChatGPT-written sentence to 'play with the reader' (revealed only to jurors), quoting AI's absurd answers to mock ChatGPT, and for research. 'AI can't be held back — you have to acknowledge and tame it,' the 62-year-old said. The confession came a day after he collected the prize, whose academy in September removed another book from its longlist over suspected AI use.
