Hello,

My latest chapter keeps getting sent back with the note 'if you are using an AI editor etc'.
I don't really know how to decipher what the issue could be, can anyone help me out with this?

They think the story was written by (or with) a large language model, not your own brain. Did you use ChatGPT or Claude or something? Did you take Grammarly's suggestions on how to improve your language?

I use Google Docs to write my stories, and I use grammar correction as my first language isn't English.
I don't understand what's going on, I have been writing stories since 2022 and never had any issues.
 
Hi Tina,

This seems to be a pretty common issue. I ran into it with one of my stories, and a number of other folks seem to have run into it as well. Lots of people have lots of theories as to what/why this is happening, and they will soon get into a circular argument about it in response to your question. For what it's worth, my educated guess as to what is happening is as follows:

- Literotica uses a filter of some kind to try to spot stories that were written by/with the help of AI
- I find the assertion that this filter is a non-LLM-based one compelling. If that is correct, it means that the filter uses statistical modeling to determine how "AI-like" your writing is.
- The peer-reviewed literature suggests that these models perform poorly and are particularly prone to flagging professionally written/edited material and things written by neurodiverse people as being created by AI when they were not.
- If your story got flagged by this algorithm as being "AI-like" it is challenging, if not actually impossible, to do anything about it. With my story flagged, I tried four times to edit it to make it less statistically "AI-like" without success.
- I sent a polite note to Laurel and included an explanation in the notes section of my last submission, but to no avail.

Lots of people have ideas on how to work around this issue, but I worry that most of them are little better than superstition at this point. Maybe I'm wrong.

Good luck,

CGN
 
When I said "They think" I really should have written, "Probably, a program running on the server detected a pattern in your story that matched something an AI would write."

It's hard to know what to suggest except, don't use AI at all. Bad grammar is less likely to be flagged than AI patterns. Seemingly. The management (Laurel) isn't being very transparent.

Thank you for your reply and your explanation, but for me, all of this is very stressful as I just want to write silly stories and make people happy.
 
I am sorry all, I was sent here by the FAQ and did not realize there are a million threads about this already :heart:
