Duplicate id in Go gorm many2many - mysql

Question

I am having an issue with saving many2many in gorm with go. The problem is that I want a book to have multiple genres, but when I try to use the Association method to add genres to the books,
I get the following error
Error 1062: Duplicate entry '2debe760-2cf8-4dff-80dd-a912ff6f8176' for key 'book_id'
I do know that the SQL generated by the gorm is false which gives the error above. The question is what should I do to avoid the check for "where not exist"? That check is not needed at all for many to many relationship. I dont understand the purpose of the check.
INSERT INTO `book_genres` (`book_id`,`genre_id`) SELECT 'e038ba55-ecd9-41a3-a1ea-36da86d465ea','3df46a42-c1ce-416c-b246-753b81fc2246' FROM DUAL WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM `book_genres` WHERE `book_id` = 'e038ba55-ecd9-41a3-a1ea-36da86d465ea' AND `genre_id` = '3df46a42-c1ce-416c-b246-753b81fc2246')
This is my setup, what I am missing to ensure I don't get the error?
