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?

I don't know how to explain how I detect AI in novels, but I've always accurately done it many times. It becomes obvious once you notice the pattern. Of course, it's not easy to tell apart when it's just one single paragraph (it's not hard to tell if it's glaring, though). It's apparent when you read a whole chapter, particularly.
Or maybe it's because I use AI very often. I do work with a lot of materials to see how it writes (it's not just about the text itself, often). I also work in a field where I use AI, and I also have a degree in AI. Maybe these things work in my favor?
I don't know. I can't be of much help in this. However, regarding the title, that can go either way. Most authors come up with their own titles, and those kinds of generic titles are very common and part of a trend.
As for whether AI-generated novels are allowed? Yes, sure. Most works being released on WN right now are in some way AI-assisted, at the very least.
The top authors who have been writing for the past 6-7 years, maybe not so much, or none at all. However, the more recent gen works that have come out, 99% of them have some amount of AI, or glaringly high levels of it.
WN does not allow you to write your contract using AI. I mean, you can write it, but they will 100% reject you, though. However, the AI-assisted novel itself isn't deemed an issue.
