Publishing faces new wave of AI-authorship accusations against novelists

Following the Anthropic copyright settlement over AI training data, the publishing industry is now grappling with accusations that authors themselves used AI to write their books. Hachette canceled publication of Mia Ballard's novel Shy Girl after an AI-detection tool flagged most of the text as AI-generated, despite Ballard's denial and threatened legal action. Several other fiction writers have since faced similar suspicions after prize wins or major book deals, and have also denied the claims.
