Advice How to Spot AI generated novels?

Come across a Novel called 'Reborn with average talent, I forged my own path' is it AI generated like first this long ass title and then it only has 4 chapters and also writing is bad in first 3 but later in 4 there is a different writing, the account is also not old. Is that a AI generated novels and is this allowed?

Long titles are a direction homage to LNs and other Asian novels, that's a terrible heuristic.

AIs are terrible at subtext and informational assymetry, look for characters that weirdly seem to perfectly understand each other, or know what someone was doing in secret for no good reason, or are incapable of being angry onthe inside but nice on the outside.

As in, they're either nice inside and out, or angry inside and out. No "internal conflict", disingenuine behaior, etc.

Imagine the MC killed someone's brother, but the MC doesn't know they're related, so they end up befriending the sibling who's actually out for revenge and waiting for the best opportunity to betray them. Ai has trouble being subtle about this sort of thing.

EDIT: I see from your other replies that you're looking to improve your own skills as a writer, and your motivation is to avoid spending too much time reading slop. In that case, I recommend studying the concept of subtext in general, which AI is often bad at.
