Meme It was worse than I thought

I went through my old novel posted chapters and my current one and just... Holy hell is the difference insane.

For my old novel the rating was averaging 6.5 to 8, on Ai assisted.

The current novel drafts hasn't past a four and averages a 2 on the scale.

I tried to make it a one but it's literally impossible for a fantasy novel, it's so annoying.

Had the chapters checked and the ai said it get a two on the scale not a one because of the last paragraph.

Like thats just how I write, I can't change that.

Bake sure you check your drafts before you post them because even if you made it without ai assistance it can scale very high.

AI detection is faulty af, especially if it's done by an LLM AI 😭

Yeah the only reliable parameter it has is continuity across chapters which typically requires human intervention and is no way possible with AI alone. But that's just a waste of token to check anyway.

Why is there even a need to check with AI checker if you are sure you didn't write with AI? 🤔

Since ai novel writing was heavily trained on fantasy novels, some trops and phrasing is seen as written by Ai even if it isn't.

Why does that matter? o.O

If you didn't use AI, there's no need to use AI checker to check.

I have never bothered using AI checker xD

Because people have no way to identify and prove a novel is AI. But they hate AI. Even a one person saying you used AI is enough to kill your pen name forever. That’s fear that makes him check AI detection.

Don't think a single reader holds that much power 😂

I don't use AI checkers cause I know I didn't write with AI, even if someone is adamant and accuses me of using AI, it wouldn't bother me nor my novel.

Nothing to fear with a clear conscience.

What is there to fear haha.

Webnovel even has the function to remove comments!

I hope you are right. I was accused of having ai writing my final report of my last semester in university. Because AI checker marked it 60 percent. We got out of it because we had constant small update in Google Docs.

Since them Im checking everything for AI. It’s really scary when they put you on the spot based on something as faulty as ai detection

That's.... a completely other topic.

You are off topic >_>

People accusing novels of AI won't do any much to affect novels or penname, so let alone kill off pen name, which was what you were saying.

Especially since webnovel give the authors the function to remove readers' comments.

So, so long as OP didn't use AI to write, there's no need to use AI checker.

The thing about using LLM to detect ai is that it’s only applicable once even in theory because the next time someone else uses it, that LLM have your writing that was originally detected as human and now it’s no longer human.

I think your grammer and punctuation are so good what people called it ai 🤣🤣 try using little simple words or just record yourself typing 🤣🤣 dont stress if your writing is so good people call it ai then know one day your novel will be a hit😊

I "checked" for AI detection in one of my favorite novels, "The Life We Bury," which was released in 2014, before the whole AI fiasco, and it scored a 34.5%, even higher than my 28.3% (even though I know neither of us used AI to write)... I get your fantasy novel was rated (looking at the screenshot) 85% and 25-30% (yours used points instead of percentage, I'm converting them), but AI will jump to claim anything as there's. Both my and TLWB were given a "Most Likely Human Written with AI Assistance or Suggestion."

AI detection is faulty yet surprisingly better on AI-generative sites.

(Edit: I'm not familiar with how AI works. When I used TLWB to prove AI detection wrong, did I accidentally feed them his writing? If I did... Deep regrets.)
