I've been wondering about that as well. Getting flagged for AI use, regardless of the veracity of the detection, flags your account for stricter filtering. Though in one case all my submissions got rejected at once, except for one that was approved. Then once rejected, it takes 2-4 weeks (often 3-4) for your submission to be looked at again. This makes trying to figure out the actual problem almost impossible, especially when the problem could be that Laurel herself thinks its AI. In which case, I wonder if having AI rewrite parts your story (and telling it to avoid common AI writing cues) is the best approach, because Laurel's problem is with your writing style. Because most editors aren't going to want to help you with this task.
It seems like sometimes Laurel will manually look at all your stories at the same time, and then manually choose to reject or approve them. And if she thinks one of them is AI, then you're at a disadvantage when she looks at the other ones.
I've seen people say that deleting all mention of the story from your account, and then resubmitting it could help. That might get the story specific flag removed if it works.
