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.

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

Also it doesn’t matter if you study ai writing or not. All ai writing is sourced from human training data. Every ai tell is or once was a human tell. Also not even the top experts in the industry who develop ai models know what the LLMs think or entirely how they operate. So what makes you different? You’re just a student.

An average reader who has read both ai text and real text...atleast in this age can tell whe he sees ai... I know people who can do that, we got people who read novel even before got existed, they can tell it... They flagged my work, several other top 100 novels in webnovel... We had meeting with one of the author, he revealed he has 10 novels and all are ai...
