I ran the author's second version of the story through the AI detector before I made changes; both resulted in non-AI results. Though, to be fair, I used the free version that limited the selections to 300 words at a time. I used several passages from the nearly 5,000-word story. Same results - it appears human.
There are other free story sites. Storiesonline.net for instance. And your stories get posted in as little as an hour to as much as 12 hours.
Ah, tis perhaps Gertrude's voice I hear....
Bonus points, but not the exact line I was intending to reference.. Methinks,..
Why you being so mean?
Well, if makes you feel any better, I'm deleting my account. I'll take my stories and go home. Go fuck yourself.
I'd like to know more about the detector that did but Laurel's not telling.
One word: internet.
This, a million times this.
I don't disagree. The outputs generated by LLMs are trained on a large number of samples of human writing written to the style guide provided by the trainers and written by humans for the purpose of training outputs, so it would be very surprising if detectors couldn't distinguish reliably between AI writing and all humans writing. What's weird is that Lit's detectors are so different to a whole range of other detectors.
Have you tested your text in several of the common detectors? If so, what do they say - % flagged and at what probability etc?
You can ask in the Editor's Forum for editing assistance. There is also this list of 'active' Volunteer Editors: https://www.literotica.com/editors/ (Note that the list is sorted by profile page updates)
What I meant was that there are regular posts where people complain that they can't find an editor. So it's all very well for Lit to say "ask for a volunteer editor", but if there aren't enough to go round, you're stuck. And given the work involved, it seems a bit unfair to demand that more people do it, or those that are already doing it do more.
I'll do another "what I wrote and why" post shortly focusing on some particular writing and style tips. Whether they'll help with sounding less like AI or not I don't know, but hopefully they'll be of some use.
My observation is the Volunteer Editors are attuned to helping with writing issues, e.g. grammar, syntax, second language user English, and a rare effort regarding plot or character development. Nothing on the volunteer section remotely says 'I can improve your human appearance in your writings - make you less AI-bot-like.'
Thanks!
I agree, and when I was a VE, I limited my offering to line/copy editing/proofreading. I wasn't qualified to do structural editing, and it's something that most don't advertise for.
Thank you!
