The Week contest: AI novel
This week’s question: John Grisham, George R.R. Martin, and other top authors are suing OpenAI, claiming the company used pirated copies of their works to teach a generative AI program how to write. If the AI were to write a novel that was clearly cribbed from a bestseller, what should the book be titled?
