Got to chapter 20 of a fic only to find out the author has been using ChatGPT to write it (they literally forgot to edit out their prompt in the middle of the work). I can’t believe I just stayed up this late reading it only to find that out.

The main storyline/plot itself is what has been pulling me in mostly, some of the character development and dialogue felt slightly unnatural but this author didn’t have any other published works so I assumed they were a new writer.

kinda crazy that barring human error, we are going to stop being able to discern the origins of new creations w the level AI is reaching, and it’s only going to get harder from here

I know. I genuinely felt my stomach drop when I saw the prompt in the middle of the page. It’s scary to me that if the author had at least checked over the work to take that part out I may not have even known it was AI generated.
