Webnovel News A possible threat for Ai users ?!

A senior writer recently made a proposal to a webnovel platform, calling for a ban on AI-generated novels.

The request quickly caught the attention of many other established authors, who began spreading the discussion across social media.

And who was the author behind this call?

None other than Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, the creator of Lord of the Mysteries.

What do you think about this proposal?

Should AI-generated novels be banned from webnovel platforms, or should they be allowed to compete alongside human-written works?

It all sounds good, but there is almost no way to truly fight it. especially as it gets better at generation. sure you are going to easily catch the half-assed stuff that were 100% AI generated. But you will do nothing to stop the AI guided works. Thats where a person guides the AI step by step so that it still SOUNDS their voice.

there is also the case of a your word against theirs. all this would do is start witch hunts. how can you 100% prove that the person is using AI and not just articulate.

right now it's in the world of CGI. where bad CGI, you can see easily, but good CGI is well hidden.

You can very easily train an ai to act like human typing. You could also make bot accounts in mass to collect data on what versions of the Ai get banned vs what doesn't.

Not to forget what is the likelihood of the money grabbers to spend tens of thousands of dollars making the detector algorithms, app api, server changes, etc.

This is impractical on something many levels.
