I'll probably delete this one after an answer, but what site were yall using again to detect if something was AI?
I recall seeing the conversation a while ago but lost that forum to time. Since I'm actively torturing myself by trying to find things to read, might as well be sure it aint AI. I don't really trust the default search engine result to tell me whats fake. What is a reputable engine to look?

Bold of you to assume you can delete the thread. Edit the first post? Sure. Delete the entire thread? Good luck.

All AI detectors are scams. Use that knowledge as you see fit.

Hm... Maybe I was thinking of translation detector instead...?

Eh, just bugs me when I suspect AI written but don't know for sure.

You sure I can't self-destruct? 😅

Everything written by a non-native speaker is a translation. I have to translate my thoughts from Kazdelian to written Victorian just to have this conversation with you.

If you mean illegal translations where the original author is not credited, it's been taken care of in this site.

You can ask Tony to delete your account, but that'd be too extreme.

To my knowledge, there is no truly reliable AI detector. The best of the unreliable options you can get is human experience with AI-written text and that tends to be heavily biased.

Translations fall more or less into the same issues. Regular MTL can be hard to distinguish from just plain old broken English, and AI TL suffers mostly the same quirks as regular AI texts.

There are some tells if someone is a thieving translator who don't write the stories they publish. Look at how often they update their story and how many of them are. Someone with 5 ongoing stories all updating daily have more chances of being a translator than an author.

If you can't detect AI with your own brain, what difference does it make?

Sheesh.

Tony now have a system to detect stories breaking the rules and nuke them. SH is a good place to read original stories now. Don't worry about LLM or MTL.

My own feelings. All the AI detectors are useless and untrustworthy. I tested them extensively, and they get results that are hogwash. They often even flag AI text as human-written and vice versa.

You can only trust your own senses after reading for so long.

There are a few halfway-decent ones, but only if you are willing to spend $250+ USD a month on nothing but that.

Which… doesn't make much sense unless you are working in education and your job depends on detecting it.
