A novel by Thélyson Orélien has been accused of being written using artificial intelligence, raising ethical and philosophical questions about the role of AI in literature. This debate comes at a time when AI is increasingly present in various fields, including creative writing. The issue has prompted a reconsideration of AI's place in the collective imagination, with references to classic works such as Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, often considered the first science fiction novel, which features an artificial creature that escapes its creator's control. As science fiction became a recognized genre in the 20th century, AI became a prominent theme, whether depicted as stitched-up flesh or electronic circuits. Several novels explore AI in different forms and contexts. Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro features an AI named Klara, an Artificial Friend who is purchased to accompany a fragile young girl named Josie. The novel examines themes of love, friendship, and the role of AI in society. Published by Folio on 19 August 2021, it has 432 pages and is available in paperback for 10 €.
