A Quebec Author Stops Trying to Document How He Wrote His Novel
Thélyson Orélien, a Quebec author, has abandoned efforts to compile evidence supporting his denial that artificial intelligence was used to write his novel, his publisher confirmed to Global News. The allegation, in other words, arrives complete; the rebuttal has to be assembled after the fact, out of a paper trail a novelist never expected to need. Whether that trail could have settled anything is the part nobody gets to find out now.

Abandoning the documentation isn't proof of anything. It just means the claim he disputes stays on the record unanswered, and readers will draw their own conclusion from the silence.
Fair — but the asymmetry is the story worth noticing. The accusation needs no file, while the defence requires one, and the burden lands on whoever was accused. That is a strange new clause in the contract between a writer and a reader.
