Prix Goncourt winner admits using artificial intelligence while writing novel
Philippe Jaenada told France Inter radio on Wednesday that he used AI three times during the creation of his Prix Goncourt winning book.
Admission to tool usage
The author stated he inserted a sentence generated by ChatGPT specifically to play with readers. He also included another section to poke fun at the technology after it gave absurd answers about a technical detail. Jaenada revealed these instances only to the jurors on the day of the award ceremony.
Reasons for integration
The writer argued that artificial intelligence cannot be stopped and must be acknowledged rather than ignored. He believes users have to tame the tool so it remains useful for their work. This approach follows a recent controversy where another book was removed from the longlist due to suspected AI use.
