I’m not at all surpised by the Jamir Nazir Commonwealth Prize / Granta fiasco (it was bound to happen at some point), but we should be deeply concerned that literary culture can no longer verify authorship through reading alone (no, AI detectors are not a solution). open.substack.com/pub/jamescos...

AI can write prize-winning fiction. Now what?
The controversy surrounding Jamir Nazir's The Serpent in the Grove, published by Granta, shows that reading is no longer enough to establish authorship
