Thélyson Orélien refutes the accusations of using AI

Orélien has also faced plagiarism allegations concerning several texts published between 2012 and 2013. According to Radio-Canada and Libération, certain passages of the story "Où va le monde," which had won a public prize, reproduce parts of the preface of Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier's book "Le Matin des magiciens."

The affair has now gone beyond mere suspicions to be based on precise comparisons published by several media outlets. The Boréal Publishing House, which published Orélien’s novel, states that they are taking these allegations seriously and are seeking to clarify the situation.

Plagiarism Accusations

Journalists have looked into texts prior to "C'était ça ou mourir." La Presse noted similarities between a letter by Orélien published in 2013 and a column signed by Andy Bautista in The Philippine Star. Radio-Canada, on the other hand, highlighted borrowings in at least five earlier texts.

Reactions
