“Jilly Cooper's dazzling tales of glamour captivated millions — including Queen Camilla, who hailed her as a “legend.” Yet she was not immune to scandal: Private Eye exposed her plagiarism, which she later admitted. The literary world accepted her admission and soon forgot about it. In a similar situation, however, the same world reacted with outrage when Japanese author Rie Kudan admitted to using AI. This double standard raises the question: why is human borrowing accepted as part of the creative process, but AI is not?” — Mouloud Benzadi
