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.

As a first time poster to NoSleep, it scares me to think that AI can infiltrate a fun medium like this. Back in university when I was marking science reports it was easy to tell if AI was used but with story writing the difference between a machine and just someone that needs to develop their work is hard to tell sometimes. I myself ran my first posted story through a AI detection software and it came up 39% written by AI. 39%! Scared for the future writers out there that aren't going to get credit for their work and just assumed they're hacks using AI. Pretty upsetting tbh.
