For clarity: this is about public, official credit given to an AI? The AI is listed as the author on the spine of the book, in the ISBN, etc?

If it has a human’s name on the spine/ISBN but it turns out some/most/all of the text is LLM output, that seems like a NO by the wording of the question. How about if the AI is listed in the acknowledgments but isn’t a credited co-author? (For that matter, what about co-authorship with a mixture of humans and AIs?)

I’d give much different odds to each of those scenarios.

@Apophatic This is about public, official credit given to an AI; it does not matter the name on the spine; if Al Gore publishes a book under his name, but claims that it was written by an AI, that counts. The 'how much' questions is very much open to judgement, and thus subjective. "I wrote it but an AI edited it" does not count; "an AI wrote it but I took out all the bits about paperclips" does; admittedly, there is a lot of space between these. However, I'm looking for "basically written by an AI".

Btw I think this was relevant and didnt see it mentioned in the comments - linkedIn's founder's book Impromptu, written by GPT-4

Wow, four whole categories of children's or young adults books...

I'm betting "YES" because I think it's likely a book will be "making a serious claim to be written by an AI" even if the book was not in fact written by, for example, prompting an LLM exactly once. It might be something like writing code with copilot but only writing comments with no actual code, and claiming the program was "written by an AI"
