Rejected because of AI I never used. What now?

I am pretty upset because I just had a story sent back with a note about using AI. I did not use any AI or even any grammar/spell tools besides the spell checker in my WP package. I am actually a published writer and I write my own content 100%.

The message said volunteer editors couldn't help with AI rejections. So if I didn't use AI, but I can't get guidance on how to address whatever triggered this issue, I am beyond flummoxed on how to proceed.

I would be grateful for guidance because I am really upset right now.

Thank you.
 
Are you sure you read the rejection message correctly? Because other people who have had stories rejected for AI use have gotten messages that say getting the help of someone from Lit's Volunteer Editor program COULD help get their story approved.

AwkwardMD has a thread about dealing with AI rejections that might be helpful too!
Thank you for the reply. The rejection message I received contains the following line:

>> NOTE: the sentence at the end of this response [[Please feel free to re-submit the story after a Volunteer Editor has examined it, or after you've made revisions.]] does not apply to stories rejected for content or AI issues. Volunteer Editors can help only with grammar, punctuation, and story mechanics issues and are not equipped to deal with AI issues. You may resubmit after you’ve made revisions. <<

I will take your advice and look into seeking help from an editor this weekend. But the message pretty clearly indicates otherwise.

Again, thank you for your guidance.
 
I believe what that means is that the volunteer editors do not have access to whatever tool the site uses to flag suspected AI content, nor any specific guidelines for dealing with specialized rejections.
There are dozens of AI-related threads here you can peruse, with largely similar advice on things one can try, but Penny already linked you to a pretty good one.

Why am I doing this again?
