When you write, when you chew on the words you put on the page, ask yourself,
"where are the beats and sounds?"
"When does the words lift off the page, and your vision of what you describe tracks from one scene to another."
"When does dialogue sound real?"
Thx - I try to implement to produce a good story

While She Remains | Scribble Hub - tell me how much is it off

No. That's my point. YOU need to KNOW, not me.
According to me when i read aloud , i feel little cut out in between , this feel a little off the road and sometime connection got cut , it is more like watching from a glass not being able to touch - that's what i find off
Read enough good stories until you can produce one.
Read too much and kind of feel stuck know what to do but something is alway missing

sry but don't get it AI or human both produce bad writing and good also both take pacing and wording to its priority , both try to make a flow so what make them different

So what needed is Imperfection that a make readers to feel human?
No??? I told you twice that piece doesn't make sense. MAKE MORE SENSE wdym imperfection? Dawg why do I need to explain this someone help

I don't think you read too much, judging from how you write in this forum. PS: Why is there spaces before your comma. --> blabla , blabla -> TF? Just use blabla, blabla
should i minimize the poetic nature to make more clearity and sense
Try to always write in format. Big S at the start, dot at the end, and clarity, not clearity.

Poetic nature is VERY AI-ish, so yeah if the scene doesn't need to be poetic, don't. It's just weird and it's too long, causing the vibe to feel slow.

I steadily walk toward the door as I can feel the subtle change in the room; my feet that once felt cold are now radiating the warmth never to be experienced by me. The moment of crossing feels like forever as the breath becomes heavier with each step to be taken - tell me is the given text by AI or Human
Feels like a trick question, like one sentence was written by a human and one by AI.

Sorry, family emergency held me up otherwise I'd have sent this an hour ago or whatever. I don't like the hospital phoning me twice this week for a family member.


First, AI don't tend to use semi colons, thats a great indicator as a baseline for 'being human' writing, but also the barely present grammatical mistakes that are very much 'there is a better way but it doesn't impact the reading at all'.

The thing starts in first person, 'I steadily' but then the next line 'as the breath' that is technically a change, it would be 'my breath' or some more focused sentence on the person. It *reads* as if a person wrote it, due to 'errors' most people will ignore because english doesn't really care about minor inconsistencies. This means they aren't really things to change, people have made entire writing styles off worse, but they are less clinical/AI.

As for all the writing tips of making something 'sound' right and all that. It really does come down to practice, especially for people who might not be english first language.

If you are looking for practicing writing and aren't really sure how, try rewording a book you like or trying keeping an extra copy of your story but simplified and make sure you check all the boxes in the more complicated version, while keeping track of the key details and information you want to get across.

There is only so much reading comprehension can help when people give advice like speaking it out loud but I can think of a few programs that will read out text you put into it, even google translate you could technically get it to read out the english version of the sentences you have written to figure out if it sounds right while struggling with speaking a language yourself.

In the end, just getting stuff down on the paper is already hard enough, you improve the more you use a skill, so go wild, write every small idea you can in notebooks or word files, upload what you feel comfortable with and just give it a go and a lot of people if they find the story interesting will help out with a few nudges here and there.

I'm sure you can't do much worse than some of the machine translation stuff I've put up with for the sake of having something to engage with in the past.

What is the importance of distinguishing whether it is AI output or human hand typing? What matters is what function the snippet of scene serves in the narrative. If it's just a blank scene that has no impact on the plot, it might be better to just remove it or make it more concise.
Because most AI generated text is wrong, wrong in that it is unnaturally written. Even the best AI will have grammar that is not what any human would write or say.
Whether a piece of literature is AI is always arguable. However, whether it resembles AI writing is different.

For these specifically, I'm going to say yes it does resemble AI writing, because it makes no sense if we heavily analyze it.

This piece is told from a first person perspective, therefore, there is no way for the narrator to know that his/her feet are radiating warmth since he/she cannot perceive it, therefore it does resemble AI.
While it does read like AI, your reasoning is wrong. You can feel if a part of your body is radiating heat, if not using the body part itself you can still use any of your skin to feel the heat.
how to improve to not sound like AI

This writing is without even Ai grammar improvement - the current text is not even touched by AI because mistake can be resolved in small sentence without AI
Maybe you do need AI to write because, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, everything of yours is pretty bad grammar wise.
There are many tools to check whether the writing is similar to AI or human handwriting, such as Grammarly. But that doesn't guarantee it was written by AI or not. In my opinion, the coherence of the writing is more important than whether it is AI-style or human handwriting. If the story is not coherent or just random, meaningless writing, then whether it was written by AI or human handwriting, it makes no difference.
It does make a difference, AI writing is always noticeable. Even if the person reading or writing can’t tell it is AI specifically, there is still a noticeable difference between natural good writing and “good” AI writing.

Grammars is always situational, and due to their inherit programming, AI will never be able to have the best grammar for the situation.

Using AI in writing is like using crutches and it will diminish the quality of the writing. The more it is used the worse the writing gets. What’s worse is that the writers don’t even notice that their own grammar starts to mirror the AI’s.

Since you seem to really need the help, no it is not good. Even the grammar of your replies and posts are objectively bad. If you want to improve your writing then stop using AI and start “writing” everything properly, even your notes, comments, replies, etc…
Yeah, SH is home for original novels. Not poetry.
Do translations count as “original novels” because a good portion of what I’ve seen on this website are translations.

Tbh, your reply was kind of bad itself. As in every sentence had multiple grammatical errors. Grammatical errors that year 5 students should know not to do.

Oh no, a brand new account on the platform immediately bashing multiple users and the platform as a whole in their first message and is rage baiting me into being defensive, guess I've gotta play along and bruise my ego so they have a point.

Or I could go on to say how, as I clearly stated, English is a language of approximates, especially when you actually study it, you learn to not jump up and correct every single dialect difference, every minor grammatical mistake and otherwise.

Sure, I agree I have numerous things wrong with my post in terms of grammar, I'm sorry that my family member was at A&E for the second time this week and this is an informal place to post, my bad, I should have taken my thesaurus with me.

Next time when I'm giving basic, entry-level tips and encouragement to someone about how English as a language is flexible and how people very actively skip over flaws in writing because many natives will auto-translate the correct phrasing in the first place, I should make sure to be militant and hold myself up to a professional standard on this casual discussion platform for people just looking for some casual tips.

Dang, my pride is like really hurt, I gotta go and like, dig a hole to like hide in, like.

Translations are prohibited. Please report them when you can. They keep appearing because whoever posted them always re-uploaded them using different titles and accounts.

No, translations don't count as original novels. You should report them. To make your reports more efficient, I strongly recommend you go through through this thread. Uhm, not all of it, just the OP with all instructions and links to usuable sites.

I don't think it's AI-written.

Dude, this was way too much for what I said. While the year 5 bit was a little rude, it was still true. If you have other shit going on don’t talk it out with random people, just don’t bother to reply.

So should I just report the people posting translations or the individual uploads?

I think you need to learn what self-deprecating jokes are, considering I started and ended on two icebreakers while being more than reasonable, not attacking any point you made, nor challenging you as a person beyond the fact you basically tried to grandstand everyone else in the thread.

I apologise for interpreting your first ever message, which appeared to be grandstanding as your whole and entire personality however, the fact you replied means you aren't just a troll account and for that I must wholeheartedly and sincerely apologise for my previous perceived biases.

That was such cringe that it has to be human.

I kid. It was partly the "to be taken" part.

Leaning towards human written. But let's be honest, anyone who knows the obvious flaws ai makes, can make changes to make it not look ai (or prompt it to make changes) i.e manual humanification. So you can only realistically tell if something is Ai if it is the first prompt generated copy-paste.
