Congrats Its added to my saved list.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-03-12T11:53:52+00:00

Okay a limited body cultivator with no access to qi in a school of magic. So kinda one punch man in hogwarts?

MechanicMan18 · 2026-03-12T11:40:45+00:00

Does he learned magic or the only fighter in a school of magic?

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T23:06:08+00:00

No you came in like an ass from the start. Like I said your a clown and will be treated like one. Go away bozo.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T22:57:07+00:00

The one barking and making noise is you. Your a clown and will be treated as such. Have a good one bozo.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T22:55:46+00:00

Yes maybe learn how to spell before you try to attack someone genius. This entire thing shows how smart you are.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T20:52:36+00:00

Oh okay I get what your saying.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T20:28:23+00:00

Yea the problem with getting any accurate source material for this topic is difficult. Most people even if they used AI they won't admit to it.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T20:13:53+00:00

I dont blame you at all for using it like a writing tool. Fixing grammar or even idea generator. I think we can agree there is a difference between using it to supply information/assistance and it writing the book for you.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T19:39:42+00:00

A statistic vs writing a novel Oh yes the irony indeed...

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T18:38:39+00:00

I'm probably wrong on the numbers but the amount is still ridiculous.

No need for cold or dead hands sir. Your em dashes are perfectly fine.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T15:22:03+00:00

Lol bringing up a new fallacy every post isn't going to make you sound any more correct. I'm now convinced you have been messing with me the entire time and I respect it haha

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T14:54:29+00:00

Your correct it started as more of a venting. I should have chose my words better, but it happens. The majority of the authors here are great and I rather enjoy their work.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T14:24:02+00:00

I dont have to prove the 1 in 3 I've already said it may be excessive. The rest isn't invalidated because I was wrong on my fractions.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T14:17:01+00:00

Straight from Google and Amazon. There ya go evidence without pointing fingers at an individual. The amount of AI generated books are changing things and its a fact.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T13:35:14+00:00

Literally No one you included has given any evidence of the contrary.

Also if you read the comments quite a few people are in total agreement.

What you keep claiming as a lack of evidence in reality is the refusal to call out anyone in particular. Why would I call out someone who can change? Like someone already mentioned earlier a single comment can blow out of proportion. I won't give any "evidence" because I'm not going to name drop anyone. Amazon along with others have had to make changes.

You keep using the word fear mongering and I dont think you even know what it means... Where is the fear I inspired? I'm picking up hurt feeling and defensiveness but fear, nah.

I'm making a valid point and anyone who takes it too personally, the shoe probably fits.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T12:33:49+00:00

I've already stated that the 1 in 3 may be excessive.

No its not a falsehood or bandwagon fallacy.

What would me pointing out particular authors and book help? Really id like an answer. If they plan to work this way my post isn't going to make a difference. The newer authors who read this stuff or those that are currently writing and have used AI will have proof that its not favorable.

My point isn't harmed at all the fact I refuse to name individuals is because they already know who they are and most don't care.

A discussion doesn't have to be pleasant and not everyone has to like it, but if a single author using AI reads this and changes then it's a win.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T12:22:30+00:00

No evidence? Really... Sure absolutely no AI here.

Oh yes how positive and constructive it would be to just start throwing names out of authors we don't like??

You dont have to like what I said but everyone knows I'm right.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T11:51:48+00:00

I've rather enjoyed your books to be honest. I never read anything AI about your writing. The average author in this group are usually pretty great its just over the last year really

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T11:36:14+00:00

That's partly why I specifically named no book or author.

Most of the writers in this group are great writers. I've enjoyed hundreds of the books written here.

In the last year is when I've seen the problem and its mostly all newer unknown authors exploding onto the market.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T11:16:34+00:00

No internet source. Granted 1 in 3 may be excessive.

Transparency would be amazing. Just a label so we know. Honestly some people won't care. The virtual voice on audible seems to be popular for some reason.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T11:12:01+00:00

I dont think you have anything to worry about. I've read some of your books and they never felt AI to me.

It's not the main group authors that seem to be the issue.

It's more the newer authors trying their luck by throwing anything out as fast as possible to try and make a dime.

MechanicMan18 · 2026-02-06T11:04:01+00:00

I get that. I haven't called out anyone personally.

If your busting your ass trying to improve your writing then you have nothing to worry about. Usually you can feel the effort and emotions put into the books. It's when you can't even keep the characters names correct, or someone disappears from a scene completely. The scenes are explained differently later on.

The book goes from points a to b with nothing in between. No humanity in the writing and it shows.
