Haitian-Canadian author Thélyson Orélien, 38, has been accused of using artificial intelligence to write his award-winning novel, C’était ça ou mourir (It Was Either That or Die), according to BBC. The allegation surfaced after an X account named Balance ton Claude claimed to have tested passages from the novel using an AI-detection tool called Pangram, which determined the passages were generated entirely by AI.
Pangram is considered one of the most accurate AI-detection programs, with a very low chance of error. Orélien, however, vehemently denied the allegations, stating they were an attack on his work. He claimed he always loved creation and literature, and could not see why he would resort to using a machine. Orélien, who was born in Haiti and moved to Canada in 2010, is currently a finalist for the prestigious Goncourt and Renaudot prizes. The allegations have reignited discussions about the reliability of AI-detection tools.
