Modern books are written by AI.
The publishing industry has faced a wave of scandals surrounding artificial intelligence. Books are pulled from publication, authors are excluded from literary prizes and contracts worth millions of dollars are canceled due to the suspicion that texts were generated by neural networks.
The use of technology is increasing: a South African author said she has written 370 novels under 21 pseudonyms using AI since 2025.
A recent study found that about a fifth of recent self-published books contain at least 25% of their text generated by neural networks.
