      success stories about this sort of thing are good.

      edit: I guess it’s a matter of what you consider success, and who is the arbitrator behind decisions of pulling and such. Primarily though I’m speaking more from the perspective of how anyone can deny anything, but if valid criticisms and suspicion from unrelated public sources are piling up against the single claim that this writer is defending, appropriate consequences at least resemble the appearance of the right thing happening against a real problem which will only intensify.

      I was trying to tell my friend that if he uses Ai this is a potential possibility that a publisher will reject the writing if they believe it to be Ai.

      I honestly don’t think he cares to be a good writer or the craft of writing and that’s the saddest part; why be a writer when your thinker doesn’t work.

      Edit: wow, thank you for all the upvotes, and my first award.

      I watched a video critiquing this book and he couldn’t stop emphasizing how bad the repetition is. I got so curious about it that I downloaded a PDF so I could see for myself.

      The word „sharp“ (also sharpens, sharpened, sharpness) appears 159 times in 213 pages. A paragraph from the novel:

      > The next morning, the door swings open with a sharp crack, and Nathan steps in like he’s holding the room itself accountable. His face is slack, exhausted, with shadows sinking into the hollows of his eyes and the sharpness of his jaw. He looks like he hasn’t slept, the stubble on his face darker than I’ve ever seen it, and his movements are sharp, staccato, like he doesn’t trust himself to stay still.

      The word „weight“ appears 94 times, with „heavy“ (also heavier) similarly appearing 90 times.

      It reminds me of an AI suffering from context rot and outputting the same thing over and over again in a loop.

      Assuming this is AI, the whole kerfuffle says as much if not more about the poor judgement of publishers, agents (if there was one) and editors, than it does about the author. If the author used AI, then they’re the only competent one out of the whole lot of them.

      I’m a teacher, and the „author’s“ reaction is exactly, note for note, what happens when you accuse a student of using AI when you absolutely have them dead to rights.

      So, I remember those challenge to let auto-suggest/prediction on your phone write your text for you (always push the middle suggestion, etc.) And it would form a sentence. Supposedly that’s the gist of what the LLM writing is. Eek.

      Can you imagine actually writing a book and then AI comes along and everyone accuses you of using it to write your book because it is so crappy? I almost hope they did use it.

      Honest question, how do people spot AI so easily? And would you say accurately?
