   What's the big deal? If the book is good, it is an excellent use of AI.

      Agreed. It’s not like a particular word is any different when it’s made by ai.

      Would we care if someone used a typewriter vs a computer to write it.

      This looks like a weird snobbishness. The fact that it’s by Europeans makes it more funny since they have been left out of the AI race.

      In the end you have a final product. Can critique it on its own. He used ai to help write it and you couldn’t tell before, says more about the product and perhaps you don’t like what it says about you .

         It's terrible writing to be honest. He's also Haitian-Canadian and not European.

            The uproar is in France. Sounds like the bigger uproar could have been the shitty writing.

            Then again. Europeans have ret-conned genericized names into terroir so it's not exactly surprising.
