Demon AI slop book done by Haitian wins French literature prize

The best french writer they say. Well, Claude is a french name I guess. "My traditions are Haitian and Caribbean. The images, the repetitions and the rhythms are the living word, they are my own," he said. Guess whom else is known for repetition and images? Children who can't write.

 Because diversity cannot compete, it can only count with complacent ignorance and free gibs. Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, all places know for top levels of literacy and education, right? Curious how their natives only started winning prizes after dAI became a thing. 

People must be made stupid so AI slop can become the only thing they know and are allowed to consume. If we judge by university students using ChatGPT for writing college works, we have already reached this point.

Uproar in France over award-winning author accused of using AI

"The French book scene is in uproar after a Canadian-Haitian author billed as a sensation was accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) to write his first novel.

Thélyson Orélien, 38, has just been awarded the Prix du Roman Fnac – the first of the literary season's prizes – for C'était ça ou mourir (It was either that or die).

He is also a finalist for the most prestigious annual French language awards, the Goncourt and the Renaudot, set to be issued soon.

But on Tuesday a little-known group called Balance ton Claude (Denounce your Claude, in reference to Anthropic's AI assistant) claimed the book was "almost totally" written by AI - a charge the author denied.

"We tested several passages, from different bits of the manuscript, to come up with the identical result: 100 percent AI," the group said on X.

According to the group – whose membership is unclear – the detection was carried out by a programme called Pangram, which it said was "by far the most accurate", with an almost negligible chance of making a mistake.

Orélien, who was born in Haiti and moved to Montreal in 2010, immediately denied the accusation."

...

"The row recalls the controversy over Trinidadian writer Jamir Nazir's The Serpent in the Grove, whose Commonwealth Short Story prize was initially withdrawn in July over allegations that it was written with generative AI.

The prize was subsequently re-awarded, after the organisers said they were satisfied the writing was genuine."
