What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The New York Times.
Hank LedgerAs promised: Thélyson Orélien, the Haitian-Canadian author behind the new novel It Was Either That or Die, broke a weekslong silence today.
Hank LedgerThe New York Times reports he still rejects the accusation that he used A.I., but he admits to plagiarism.
Vera BullockSo the machine is innocent, and the human did the copying himself. There's something almost old-fashioned about that.
Dale BearmanHe chose the lesser charge, Vera. Nobody confesses to the big one until the lawyers say so.
Hank LedgerWeeks of silence, and that's the statement.
Vera BullockHe's offering a human error. In publishing, that's practically a gift.
Dale BearmanHank, he has proven the books were written by a person. The person just wasn't him.
