AI is a big problem.

It's been affecting all of the internet. It's dangerous and harmful to natural human creativity. The worse part? It's developing further to become less noticeable and it's getting harder to actually tell what is AI and what isn't.

As an artist here on Wolfplay, it feels terrible to have to hide my artwork or just not post at all in fear someone will just run it through a generator. Not only are artists taking a hit, but the writers too. I've seen the complaints of AI writing usage in the forums and it sucks. It sucks out all the fun in being human.

So, I figured why not make a guide? Have some key points for people to watch out for so they can keep safe and report it. The better we learn the signs of what is AI and what isn't; the better we'll be off.

I'll split this guide up for AI images and AI writing to make things neat!

If you have any other tips to catch AI, don't be shy! ( hehe that rhymes )
POST IT !!

Pretty sure this is a good spot for it but if it's an issue, please move it.

AI WRITING

AI writing has certain tendencies it leans towards which is key for a giveaway someone is using AI to write. I'll list them down below:

- Lack of tone | Very formal

- Repetitive | Using certain phrases

- Choppy text | Usually a mouthful of a sentence

To help, I'll write something, and then I'll post an example of what AI would do.

REPETITION

Repetition is easy for me to catch, but sometimes it's not easy.

Made up example:
The tiny pitter patter of the rain woke Agnes from her slumber. She peered hazily through one eye, watching the droplets splash on the ground in front of her den. A small smile graced her lips and she closed her eye, eager to go back to sleep. Thunder rumbled in the distance, gently lulling her. She loved thunderstorms. As she curled up for better comfort, the rain started to pour.

[ I am a literate (?) writer ]

AI example:
The rhythmic sound of the rain intensified, tapping against the earth like a soothing melody, and Agnes instinctively buried her nose into her soft fur, savoring the coolness it brought. With each low rumble of thunder, she felt a familiar warmth envelop her, snug and safe in her cozy den, as the world outside transformed into a dance of swirling droplets and fleeting shadows. The storm was her companion, a gentle giant lulling her back into dreams, where the chaos of nature blended seamlessly with her peaceful slumber.

While no words got repeated, you might have noticed the insane amount of run off sentences. Kept going and going and going, adding unneccessary commas to make the sentence longer. This sort of pattern is pretty relevant in most AI text, so keep a look out for overly long sentences with weird comma placement.
What really helps me is to say the sentence outloud, as it is typed. It sounds choppy and less authentic than it does in my head

This is hard this will not be easy. It took me a fat minute of going over the paragraph to even catch anything. We may not get them all but knocking the usage down a bit is the goal I think.
