|
9.2
Hachette Book Group canceled the US publication of Mia Ballard's novel Shy Girl on May 19 after the New York Times presented evidence suggesting heavy AI use, the company said. Hachette also discontinued the UK edition, which had sold 1,800 copies since November; Ballard denies the claims, says an editor used AI, and plans legal action.
