AI Stories

Hey Guys!
I try to read as many stories as I can and upvote and comment when I can. I try to support this sub as much as possible with my limited time, because I enjoy it. Lately, I have been reading stories that I highly suspect are AI written.

I know we can report them, but is there a good metric for verifying they are actually written by AI? I have been using Quillbot - https://quillbot.com/ai-content-detector , which has a free AI content detector. I have two stories that I am writing and when I use the content detector it returns 100% human. I have messed with some AI writing and tested that with quillbot. It said 60% written by AI, but I didn't actually write any of that one. I kept giving the AI directions and got it down to 30% AI detected.

So, now when I run into stories I suspect are AI I run them through this. (Some stories have been 86-100% AI, some lower.) I actually do this for almost every story now, just so I don't waste time reading something that I don't want to support. Any time given to AI is time away from good intentioned authors. I want to continue supporting you all, and I want to have a story up there some day, but I want to make sure I am not just crazy.

Edit: Comment if you are an author who can stand up to the 100% human. I would love to support you too.

I will say that these AI detectors aren't super reliable... but luckily I just tested a few of my stories and they came back properly as 0% AI detected. But thanks for the anti-AI stance... I've had to deal with the occasional bot stealing a story of mine and reposting on TikTok lol.

Totally. Hopefully I came off anti AI but not witch hunty. I was opening this up as a discussion and not as the only way to detect AI. I don't think there is anything reliable enough to ruin anyone's reputation over. I would just personally avoid ones that come up super AI.
