Advice appreciated on how to deal with editor's allegation of AI use

You can go to this free site: AI Detector and run a few paragraphs at a time through it and it will highlight the text that could be identified as being written by AI. You can then take those parts and fiddle with them until it is detected as being written by a human.

A couple of things this detected on one of my currently rejected stories (and only 52% probability of AI):
Fuck.
"Hi," I said.
Oh, well.
"(...) Let's go."
"Who is it?"
"(...) That's right."
Thanks for reading!

Yeah...
 
Several people have mentioned this AI Detector. Just a warning that it is probably AI as well and we are blindly offering it more and more data to work with, pushing it diligently toward the point of singularity. My theory is that it has already reached that point and as we feed it more and more examples of our work, it broadens the reach of its so called Detector. Of course them goal is to create a world where anything written by a human is flagged as AI so that only its thoughts and words are accepted as 'real.' be cautious, my friends, be very cautious.....


Yeah, I may also be vetting an idea for a Sci Fi story.... :)

Interesting, ran chunks of stories that have been approved in the last month through and they showed between 50 and 65%, though the number of sentences highlighted were tiny and tended to be transitions between things that mattered, so I guess I need to focus a bit more on those.

Nevertheless, take anything the app says with a truckload of salt ...

Or you can go to one of a dozen other AI detectors, and get a dozen different results. None of which are likely to match whatever Lit is using.
 
Sorry to hear. YMMV I guess. She’s always been nice to me. Long before I was a forum feature.

I don't need this headache. I've left comments on my open stories that they won't be finished here. Other places to post that don't put me through this aggravation. Thanks for helping, though.

Sorry it’s didn’t work out. Hate to see people go.

Third time in two days…

  1. Search for similar threads here
  2. Start a convo with @Laurel the co-owner and submissions editor

I've been having a similar problem. I added a story (would be the 5th one) to my "Dorothy" series. It was rejected for AI. NO AI was used. I didn't even use the grammar programs, as I am a pretty strict grammarian myself. I got a very similar note. I submitted the story and it was rejected on November 14, 2023, again on November 28, 2023, again on January 22, 2024, and finally on February 2, 2024. I am extremely frustrated. I have written to Laurel explaining that no AI is involved; they just keep sending me the same rejection note over and over.

They write,
Dear Writer,

Thank you for your submission to Literotica. We appreciate the time and effort you've taken to write a story and submit it to our site . However, we've found that we cannot post your submission in its current form. The checklist below may help you in re-examining your manuscript.

  • We appreciate the effort you put into your work. We've checked this work several times and it is still coming back as being composed largely of AI-generated prose. Using a grammar check program sparingly (as a spellcheck, to fix punctuation, review grammar, and/or occasionally as a thesaurus) should be fine. But if you are allowing a grammar check program to “rewrite” your words, that may cross the line into AI generated text/stories. Please see this FAQ for more information: https://literotica.com/faq/publishing/publishing-ai
Please feel free to re-submit the story after a Volunteer Editor has examined it, or after you've made revisions. You can find a list of Volunteer Editors here.

Please consult our Writer's Resources section and make sure you read our submission guidelines.
If you have any questions on these, please let us know.

Thanks for your time, and look forward to reading you again!

Laurel & Manu

I wrote back,
Dear Laurel & Manu:

This is the latest in my Dorothy series, following up on her previous adventures. I do not understand why you rejected it.

What is the problem with this story? You keep sending it back and I can't figure out what your reasoning is. This is the latest in the series of Dorothy stories I've been writing.

I've been contributing to this site since 2006.

I'm very frustrated by this and I don't know how to resolve it. I had an editor, then suddenly he wasn't an editor and stopped communicating. I am in contact with other editors.

I love this site and have contributed 63 published stories, but this is irritating me.
 
Just as a test, I put 1000 words of something I wrote yesterday.





These, and others were flagged as "This content looks too robotic".
Looks like you follow that rule about using adjectives and adverbs sparingly.

That's my thesis, too. The more robotic the writing is, the greater the likelihood it was written by a human.

The AIs are simply too good to write robotic prose.

Dumb humans write in a robotic style.

I ran AI-Detector and found that 9% of AI content was enough to kill me.

THANK YOU!!!
 
I’m struggling with this as I’ve not used any AI (does grammarly count?) - seven chapters uploaded, seven rejected for AI.

I’m going to try the AI detector to see what comes up and then report back but at this stage I’m dejected enough to give up entirely.
 
Maybe not so much with this clusterfuck that's rapidly developing
Big website, many users, maybe victim of own success? But there’s a clear blocker here to anyone starting out.

It’s also become absolutely miserable to submit, get rejected, submit, get rejected again.

Somewhat ironically this is starting to feel like the early years of my dating life!

The problem here is the complete lack of communication and transparency . Obviously whatever system they are using to check for AI is causing a large % of real stories to be rejected incorrectly. That needs to be publicly acknowledged and addressed together with what plans are in place to mitigate these unintended consequences . I remember when you posted a story and it was up within 5 mins that worked this doesn’t but it’s obviously the lack of communication from site administrators that is the main problem.
