"The stunning fact that “Shy Girl” got so far into the #editorial process, and was even released in the #UK before publishers thoroughly investigated the claims of #LLM use, is a sign of how unprepared many in the #book #world are to deal with the rise of A.I."

Not necessarily, because AI generated texts, don't have a copyright and publishers care a great deal about that.
