CORRECTIONS: The Guardian did not write the article accusing Daggermouth as AI generated, that was the Atlantic.

Watch the more nuanced video at my youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@writing-theory

In this episode, we look at the developing stories of AI accusations at debut authors and the unreliable tools behind those accusations. Shy Girl by Mia Ballard, Daggermouth by HM Wolfe, and Call Me I'll Hide The Body by Jerry Falade all received AI accusation over the past year leading to various outcomes.

Jerry Falade lost a $2.4 million dollar book deal. Mia Ballard's book was taken off the market. HM Wolfe is the only author who was backed by their publisher and has hit the New York Times Bestseller's List.
