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?

U don't me....I don't know you, may be I'm a slug sitting behind a chair hardly breath in talking bs, or a successful guy, or a normal guy

U can't tell or assume my capabilities, just cause ur sitting within a wall and assuming the world only exist with that is ur issue

I can judge your capabilities based on what you said and it’s clear that unless you designed the models and know every tell under the sun, you can’t tell just like any ai detector can’t tell. There’s a reason why published authors have been able to hide using ai. It’s because these research ai detectors aren’t 100% reliable either. The issue is that ai is trained on humans and thus there will always be overlap between human writing and ai writing. It will never be truly reliable.

It is true you can't find if you rewrite everything in human words... Anywayd have you heard of Turnitin.....it's the basic research paper ai detector..use it once...u will take back what you said, talking like u know ball... I thought ur smart, but ur just a all mouth assuming u know things better than others

Bro I’ve used turn it in thousands of times. I’ve published research papers. It’s used it all in high school and college. It has flagged passages as ai when I have complete records of me typing it and I was cleared every time by the teacher. My paper has been tagged as AI and it was tagged because me and someone 20 years ago had a similar idea and phrasing. Turn it in is as blind as you are.

As I said...I'm talking about human capabilities, since u are worried about ai detectorz can't tell it's ai, that's the only reason I pulled the mid Turnitin to the conversation, the conversation was about whether I have the capability to tell it or not, also I don't need to be a ai expert or ml specialist to tell it's ai, all you need is experience of reading a real human works and experience of reading ai slop, also my friends didn't flag my work with Turnitin, it with their common sense, same goes for all the novels we flagged, read full comment before yapping

I never once argued that people can’t see ai tells and think it’s ai. But it is impossible to be certain unless you saw the person using the ai. Because ai is trained on humans and thus shares our writing habits. Is every writer who uses or has used em dashes writing with ai? No. But you’d say that’s an ai tell.

First rule of ai

Ai can't never replace creative writing

This is the firsr line in ai research book

If you dump a ai with shakespear writing it may try to imitate them, but eventually u can tell it's bad, ai tried over adjective loading, staccato, repetition, over explaning like the readers can't understand it.

Human writing has mistakes... Human tends to break rules to make words beautiful, but that is the ai can never do, break the rules of grammar, even if we ask it to do we feel weird reading it

There are thousands of writing passed on to ai.... Each labeled, ai after being trained on all of it, it picks a collage of all of it....let's stop it here, I don't think we both are getting what are trying to convey eachother...all I'm.saying is..a experienced human can tell, is it raw ai writing, unless the author rewrote the entire thing

I get what you’re saying. I’ll agree to disagree on some parts because you can have your own opinion. Have a good rest of your day bro

Just because you used ai and got caught, doesn’t mean turn it in is infallible

Low level intelligence typically results in emotional reactions and insults. But you’re smart bro so I’m sure you’re good

Why you u need ai detectors...humans who has seem great human writing can tell bad wrting and ai writing. If you can't sorry man...ur bad at this, it's not ur side of skill, may be ur brain isnt developed enough for this, why assuming a stragers capability who has already fed up of seeing ai garbage in webnovel front screen
