About this episode
The new thriller novel “Shy Girl” by Mia Ballard has been pulled from shelves over speculation it was written by AI and it's throwing the literary world for a loop. Questions are being raised about what role AI could, and should, have in creative writing in the future. Can it write better than humans? Does it matter? Authors Stephen Marche, Andrea Bartz, and Vauhini Vara join us to talk about it.
