You know the story of the bombers that came back full of bullet holes?
We're only seeing the strories that got through the screening.
I don't doubt that. It doesn't undercut my point.

But we're hearing all about those that don't, and there seem to be a lot of common factors in play - the main one, I think, is the number of writers saying, "I've only ever written reports or business reporting before, and I use Grammarly for that." The examples folk are giving all have a similar feel to the writing, I reckon.You know the story of the bombers that came back full of bullet holes?

This is a good question. I'd like to hear from a) experienced Lit authors if they've encountered an AI rejection, and b) new Lit authors who have NOT encountered this problem.
The base models is fed almost every piece of writing on the internet. The outputs of the base model are then retrained on the output of humans employed to reframe those responses in a human style (fine-tuning). It's that human style which the AI detectors detect. The fine-tuning doesn't remedy the fundamental deficiencies of the base model, which arise because it has no understanding of its inputs or outputs, but it makes it conform to a conventional human style. It's these aspects of human style which get flagged by AI detectors and, ironically, it's things that those writers are doing right which cause them to be flagged.My point, such as it is, is that AI has been fed Hemingway, Steinbeck, et al, and if you try to write like that because that's what you were taught was proper writing, it's gonna get flagged (I'm looking at you, AutoCrit users...).
I’m a published author 4 small books by a niche publisher. (Not erotica) I’m about to submit the first part of my story. After seeing all these thread about AI generated stories I started digging and reading more here and elsewhere.
Turns out I’m only 91% human. Shocking to me, but not my wife apparently.
It’s interesting. Since finding out about AI written narrative I’ve went down a really weird rabbit hole. I knew nothing about it. So it’s wild! I even found a subreddit of people talking about how to reliably corrupt the ai to write smut.I think it's a fairly niche issue that seems much more widespread than it is due to these threads. It's certainly an issue the site needs to iron out. Even rejecting one human written story is too many.
But from the rejected stories I've read, what I've gathered is the more conversational your prose is, the less likely your story is to be rejected. I use a ton of filler words—love em, and em dashes—love em, and all my stories have spent maybe a day, day and a half in pending.
Not saying that's right. In fact I think it gets a pass because it's so 'wrong.'
With you being a published author, I'd be very interested to hear how your pending experience goes.
Damn! You really go old school for your smut.It’s interesting. Since finding out about AI written narrative I’ve went down a really weird rabbit hole. I knew nothing about it. So it’s wild! I even found a subreddit of people talking about how to reliably corrupt the ai to write smut.
I mean, that’s cool, but I think at my age I just look at it and think,”I’ll stick to gold ol’fashioned Usenet and literotica.”
Or natural conversational lead-ins such as "Yeah, but...", "Uh huh," "Oh, I dunno," or "Really?".
My suggestion - have a separate category for AI written stories.
But if you use an AI detector on a human-written text and correct the allegedly AI-generated parts, does that make the writing AI-assisted?Hilariously this seems to make GPT Zero great for proofreading human made content, due to its ability to spot sentences that seem out of place.
Categories exist to assist reader navigation. I don't think many people are specifically thinking "I want to read an AI-written story, I don't care whether it's romance, non-consent, fanfic, or masturbation, just as long as it's AI-written". This problem already exists with the Novels and Novellas category: most authors put their novels elsewhere because not many readers look for stories in N&N.My suggestion - have a separate category for AI written stories.
Not a bad idea except that the site will be absolutely flooded with AI stories. It would probably end up as the biggest category. Think about it, it takes weeks to write a 20k story without AI, but a few minutes to write one with AI. I could see the site not being able to handle the traffic.
Yes, and?
All AI written or AI helped stuff would go there. I think most people would not even go there, to be honest. People seem to hate AI, anything AI. Well, too bad. This is literal paradigm shift in this planet's history. Second most important invention of humanity, ever (first one is fire, btw).
You’re pouring water into a sieve. Without getting into details, suffice it to say that if the site becomes AI-friendly tomorrow, the same lemmings vehemently opposing AI today will be the first to champion it.Yes, and?

I wish I could bottle you and sell you as Eau de Nerd. Good old Haber-Bosch.Ammonia synthesis.
Many have tried.I wish I could bottle you and sell you as Eau de Nerd.
Ah, Haber. Proof that intelligence is no guarantee of happiness.Good old Haber-Bosch.
It musta...slipped my mind.Also, unironically, you left soap off the list.
Thanks for the strap-on image I didn’t need.So, @Bramblethorn dropped the soap and @onehitwanda pounces. Someone should write a story about that.
