I’m desperately trying to dodge ai in books. It’s getting to the point that I straight up don’t trust any new book even a little. Pre-2020 for me, apparently

I get you, but that is tragic for new authors and the mindset will ultimately make writing completely unsustainable for real people if everyone starts doing this.

Usually a simple visit to goodreads will help you figure out if something is AI. People notice pretty quickly

It’s very unfortunate, yes. I just won’t waste my money on slop and it’s not always obvious at first glance

I 100% get that and understand, hell I’ve done that too, but as an aspiring writer, how could I convince you I’m real

This. Also authors who don’t use AI are usually pretty outspoken about hating AI. Most creatives and consumers don’t want anything to do with it. There are of course people out there who want to publish slop for a quick buck, but it’s usually obvious slop and will often have an AI cover too.

A lot of authors have started to use AI as an editor, it’s gotten to the point where I even see mf fanfic authors type shit like “It’s not just tangible—it’s palpable.” and have the gall to advertise 15 more chapters on patreon

Some are also just outright generating whole books. But those types often fuck up and leave prompt lines and ChatGTP suggestions in their works because shockingly, if they don’t give a shit enough to write it, they’re not taking the time to edit it either. It’s usually pretty clear when AI was used and people will talk about it in reviews.
