Summary

Quebec publisher Les Éditions du Boréal has cut ties with author Thélyson Orélien, saying document metadata showed he used artificial intelligence to write his debut novel. The publisher will not reprint the book or publish more of his work, but said it cannot determine how extensively AI was used or reach a definitive answer. Orélien has denied using AI to generate any sentences in the novel.
