Quebec-based author Thélyson Orélien's debut novel 'C'était ça ou mourir' faces allegations of AI authorship after an anonymous account claimed AI-detection tool Pangram found the text 100% AI-generated. The prestigious Goncourt Prize removed the book from its longlist, while Orélien denies the accusations and attributes his poetic style to Caribbean literary tradition. The scandal raises broader questions about AI detection reliability in the publishing industry.
