Summary
Quebec publisher Boréal said it would keep Thélyson Orélien’s novel “It was Either That or Die” in bookstores after the Haitian-Canadian author denied using AI to write it. The book was removed from the shortlist for France’s Goncourt prize after an AI detector indicated a 100 per cent probability of computer-generated text. Orélien also acknowledged past plagiarism as “unacceptable mistakes” and apologized.
