You would think being able to spot Ai written stories would be an amazing talent to have, no, no it's not. This have ruined the reading experience of many books that I genuinely liked not because of the plot, but because of the nagging feeling that it was written by ai and then finding out to my great disappointment that it was indeed written by chat gpt once I put it into zero gpt.

Sure, maybe it's a false positive but when you write like ai using phrasing like "it's not just amazing, it's wonderful" it an enormous red flag for me.

Look, I'm not saying I don't like ai stories, it's that I don't like the way the ai write the stories. Big diff, the way ai write is so off putting and huge turn off to me,is this just me? Or does anyone else feels the same?

Sorry for the rant, really had to get this off my chest.

Tldr: I don't like how AI write as an author, just me?

But is the problem that the story is written by AI, or that the AI writes like grammatically correct, flowery shit? If it's the latter, you would not enjoy the story regardless of you recognizing the AI writing, it might just take you longer to drop it.

Zero gpt isn't reliable. Open ai announced it a long time ago

Ei, that's true, perhaps if AI changed their way of writing, it would be much more bearable for me to read. I don't mind if it's written by ai, just that they change the way they write.

Of course the ai company says the AI detector is not reliable, but that's beside the point. The point is that AI have a style of writing that really grate on my nerves.

You want something that sounds messy, not like some corporate blog.

I don't mind if it's written by ai,

AI prompters are the bane of the rest of us writers' existence. It makes me a little sad when I hear people say they don't mind if something is written by AI. We spend many hours crafting a chapter, while the prompters are just tossing an idea into <Insert Garbage AI Here> and, with minimal effort, have some flowery baloney they claim they wrote.

My favourite is when these 'works' start getting longer and the AI starts leaving plot holes the prompter misses because they didn't write it to begin with. IMO, AI sucks for anything other than an aid for your grammar.

Anyway, rant over.

Full text, if you want to test it yourself:
In the glistening, crystalline, most utterly alabaster expanse of an otherwise unnoteworthy winter morning—wherein each snowflake pirouetted in gravity’s gentle embrace as though choreographed by the invisible hand of a wistful frost-ghost—the fox jumped.

Yes. Jumped.

But before this jump—nay, this majestic propulsion of vulpine vivacity—there was silence. Pregnant silence. Not a silence of absence, but a silence full of potential, like a taut string humming with destiny, or perhaps like soup waiting to be microwaved.

The fox, whose name might have been Rendalorian (though none had asked), paused. The wind tousled his fur with the flirtatious grace of a thousand feathery whispers made corporeal, and his amber eyes stared deeply into the unspeaking snowdrift. Beneath it, a mouse? Or the Idea of a Mouse? Or perhaps his own self-doubt, buried?

He twitched.

A twitch that echoed across the ages of instinct, passed down from ancestor to ancestor in a sacred muscle memory of hunger and hope.

And then—

Explosion! Not of flame, nor light, but of paws—four of them, all present and accounted for—launched skyward in defiance of the tyrannical ground. Snow erupted around him in a paradoxical quiet cacophony, each flake recoiling as though personally affronted by the sudden disruption of their static choreography.

He arced. Oh, how he arced. The arc of that jump rivaled the curve of fate itself, if fate were a cold, soft thing made of ice crystals and regret.

Time stopped. Probably. Or maybe it didn’t. The narrative forgot to check.

And then—contact. The landing, less a fall than a poetic punctuation, marked the end of the jump and the beginning of the next phase: standing still, now with 73% more dignity. Whether the mouse existed was irrelevant. The jump had been.

And in the vast white nowhere, the fox blinked.

The snow did not applaud, but it might as well have.

Fin.

So yes, that will be all in the "let's trust the AI checker" department. Have a nice day.

Tbh it's more of that it's kinda impossible to stop AI writers from well not using AI and I have kinda given up trying to hate on them.
I mean you can argue that it's a tool to make your imagination into reality but at that point it's just souless imagination iywim

Also because ai stories have flooded scribblehub and I'm starting to see how tiring it would be to try and avoid AI written contents.

However, it's not a coincidence that all of my top favourites novels are fully written by human.

Yet it has EM-'s that should have been sign number 1
Everything i write has em or em in it... does that mean i'm the AI? :(
You serious write with em dashes? No human does that... you have to hit alt and four numbers on your keyboard to even make one.

Look my point is that I don't care if it's written by ai, i care that it's writing style is weird and off-putting. I have been repeating myself several times in fact, if the ai is getting good enough to fool AI detector? Great! But obviously you have to prompt the ai abit to avoid writing in the usual ai style. Some people just let AI have full reign and it just makes the ai write in its usual souless and annoying style

Something having em or em dashes in it doesn't automatically make it AI-generated. Overuse of those MIGHT imply it, but it is never a definitive mark. Never.

Only AI uses that kind of dashes in anything... humans usually use a regular dash or a semicolon, and even then, it is quite common to use a comma instead.

Before the AI invasion, I used it too whenever I was writing on my phone. The em dash is for my lazy self, so I don't need to think hard about the thingy like the comma and others. I also like how the em dash looks. :blob_pat_sad:

I will have to agree with juia here, I have read alot of novels written by human and none have used em dash as much as AI have ever used. Of course, exceptions like decaded might occur but hey that doesn't mean we are wrong too?
Cuz it is a fact that AI uses em dash alot, no matter how much you argue even the one decaded produced using AI is filled with em dashes
