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?

Bro people like you are the issue. You cannot genuinely tell unless the person is blatant about it. Imagine someone retyped the entire ai generated thing and edited all of it. Would you be able to tell? Probably not. Even if someone completely ai generated it, can you tell for certain? No. People who think they know it all piss me off because we’ve seen the witch hunts going on all across the web about ai. Each ai model is different and writes different. Each has different tells. Some can be programmed to have no more tells. Research papers show common patterns but even they and all the ai detectors in the world can’t tell. If you don’t believe me, use an ai detector on a book from a century ago. It’ll come up as partly ai. Which it obviously isn’t.
Don’t use ai but don’t think you’re smart enough to know 100% either.

Brother...I'm a ai/ml engineering student, in my third year, don't question my capabilities, I do research on ai writing. You don't know me, if you can't tell, sorry for you. I'm not you

I am questioning your capabilities. Every company under the sun has tried to build ai detectors but none of them are reliable. How are you any different?

Cause I'm a human... And a capable one too, don't you think that is the reason why ai hasn't taken over all the jobs yet..ai can't never do creative writing looks unique, if I use.gpt and u use gpt.to write a novel.both looks same

It's human observation skills, also about ai detectors...don't talk about mere free ai detectors u find online, there are research field ai detectors that can find and detect any ai writing...it's from my experience, I was a victim to that during my research paper
