Summary

Quebec publisher Les Éditions du Boréal is cutting ties with Thélyson Orélien after an outside review found signs of AI use in some versions of his debut novel. The publisher will not reprint the book or publish more of Orélien’s work, but said it cannot determine how much AI was used and may never know for certain. Orélien denies using AI to write the novel, though he says he used it for research.
