Rejected because of AI I never used. What now?

This broadly discusses what chatbots use, but most of the words appear repeatedly in AI writing. Additionally, terms used in one place are often repeated in subsequent scenes. He, she, never looked back. Every time someone leaves, they never look back. I know this because I had to edit an AI story for one of my clients and deAI it.

I appreciate everyone's thoughts and feedback, you guys are awesome. This little hangup has been educational in that it will make me double-down on my practice in my non-erotica writing of keeping regular interim-stage copies of my work. I would be horrified if a journal sent something back accusing me of using AI, but at least on that side of the house I have a trail showing proof of authenticity.

I will also now be keeping regular interim versions in my more purplish writing as well.

So, as you can tell, I am REALLY glad this happened here on this site, and not out in the "real world". I am probably not going to reach out to Laurel, I have already spent enough time on this issue. It's time for me to move on. It sucks and I'm sad, but that's the way things go sometimes. Learn and let it go.

Again, thank you all very much for your kindness. It was you guys that helped me turn this rotten experience into something positive.

Peace, love, and happiness.
