The Rest Is Entertainment

What happens when readers suspect a published book is AI slop? What’s the latest in the fallout from the cancellation of the US reality TV show, The Bachelorette? And what has Peter Mandelson got in common with Taylor Frankie Paul, the celebrity at the centre of the scandal?

Publishing is finally fighting back as Hachette has pulped thousands of copies of a new book that readers are claiming is penned by ChatGPT. Could this be the same future for Reform's Matt Goodwin - as it's also littered with AI Hallucinations?

Richard and Marina also discuss the messy downfall of Taylor Frankie Paul, the Mormon TikTok star that has been dogged by domestic violence allegations. We have the full breakdown.
