What isn't obvious is how an LLM polishing the grammar would change the setting entirely, delete characters, change the themes/genre of the story, make the previous chapter 1 to 5 disappear and replace it with a new 1 to 5, etc.

LLMs have an aversion to smut, they can tone something down to polite… hotness or whatever it’s called. As for characters and setting, that’s entirely up to the author’s decision to change.

There are different kinds of ai sounding writing:

1. Prompt bros: People who only write prompts and ask an LLM to generate a story. That’s ai gen and the most obvious form of ai writing.

2. Authors who write their own chapters and ask ai to polish them: Still often has an obvious ai signature because it will replace their voice.

3. Authors who ask ai to translate their work into English: This is the least obvious of the 3, but a keen eye can detect it because ai prioritizes correct translation over changing the voice.

Lastly, authors who use ai for minor grammar polishing: You generally won’t be able to tell this at all.

Imagine being such a loser you have to have AI write for you. This is just plain sad, any and all creative talent is gone.

I'm a non-native English speaker/writer, so I use this to correct my 'in' and 'on' and other grammar stuff.

They also have an aversion to violence and is always moralizing things. Can't have characters fight to the death. Description of injuries are sanitized.

And then we have the fourth kind of AI sounding writing:

4. Authors whose works were used to train the LLM without their knowledge and consent. Most of them were fanfic writers because LLM were trained on a lot of fanfics.

I got accussed of using AI for having the word phospheresence

What? that's crazy! Phosphorescence* is such a casual word found in everyday conversation! How dare they find it weird. I surely don't.

5. Authors who pitch their idea world salad to an LLM and ask for potential ideas to make things better , who either A; choose one of the mostly shitty sounding ones and go with it or B; look at all the terrible ideas and become inspired enough from it to make their own that's better, telling the LLM they suck ass.

An author's decision. Yeah, it totally is an author's decision to have the smut, mature, and adult genres but have 0 content that matches those genres. It's totally reasonable to fail to meet up to the expectations of everyone who chose to give the story a chance.

Who the hell wrote this? All three of the new women were living their lives fine before they met him, but he miraculously runs into them when they are less than a day from death unless they start taking his treatments every day. And now the upright goody-two-shoes antagonist officer who threatened the corrupt magistrate is conveniently also corrupt.

It fit in context and I actually have a decent vocabulary. I barely ever even use thesaurus. Spell checker is another matter. I use that because I'm dyslexic, learned to read phonetically, and can't be bothered to memorize a bunch of exact speling.

Update: In the story, Elara, the guildmaster, can completely abandon her guild duties on a whim and leave town with the MC. When they climb up to the spire (a place she lived in her whole life before moving down for her job), the air she should be used to is too clean and mana-dense, so it hurts her, but the new air doesn't hurt the hobgoblin, who travelled up there for the first time. It's like he forgets what he wrote 2 chapters ago.

I am highly convinced this story is AI generated.
