Major Publisher Cancels Novel Over Alleged AI Use
|
8.2
Hachette has blocked the US publication of the horror novel "Shy Girl" and discontinued its UK edition after The New York Times reported evidence of generative AI use. Tests cited by the paper, including by Pangram, suggested about 78% of the text was AI-generated; the book was self-published in February 2025 and saw a UK release in November. The move highlights publishing industry scrutiny of AI-origin content.
