Hello @zerah,
Your writing is always a pleasure to read. However, your recent stories have returned a high reading of AI content by several programmed AI detectors. While we love your stories, this trend is distressing to us and we must raise the issue. If you are using an editing program perhaps that is giving your stories the impression of heavy AI influence. I would appreciate your feedback about this issue and I'm certain you can put to rest the unease some of our curators feel about the potential AI content in your stories.
Thank you.
Hello @agmooore, first i appreciate that you read my story so closely and for raising this. I understand its meant to safeguard the integrity of this place.
For clarity, my story was inspired by my life experience. No AI was used to generate or rewrite it. I only write on Grammarly and edit there for grammar and spelling check. I believe Grammarly is allowed for editing, but if it is not, i promise to avoid it henceforth.
Hello @zerah,
Thank you for your attention to this issue. It is a bit of a quandary. We want people to be able to use tools, but it seems those tools sometimes do a little too much editing and an AI result is what the author gets. In this case, it seems the Grammarly edits may be coming across as AI so it might be safer for you to use Grammarly for spellcheck but not for other edits. It's hard to make a fine distinction when Grammarly offers a suggestion between what is acceptable and what is not. I do not personally use the tool. I do use a spellcheck on my word processing program but that's it. No other tools. I decide where the commas go, appropriate word order, etc. There are other authors who have had this issue with Grammarly. I don't know that much about it, because I don't use the program, but it does seem to lead to trouble for some people (not everyone). Your stories are inspired and inspiring. I think maybe you should be really careful about getting any programmed input (outside of spellcheck--who can spell??). We enjoy your stories and would really like to continue curating them. However, if we keep getting the AI ratings, that won't be possible.
Hope to read one of your stories soon.
AG
