Orélien denies AI use, admits plagiarism in past book
The author pushes back on one accusation while conceding a separate, older one is true
Coral’s read
Here's the thing about denying one charge while admitting another: readers remember the admission, not the denial. Orélien says the AI claim doesn't stick, but he's owning the plagiarism in his earlier work outright, and that's the harder stain to scrub. Mixed records like this don't resolve cleanly, they linger. If you're watching this one, watch what comes next from Orélien himself, not what you assume it means.
