A writer puts his own writing through an AI detector, which in itself, an AI. He uses something called OriginalityAI. Never used it, don't know who owns it. Here is what it does, though:

I'm sure a lot of people are paying a lot of money for this service because it's AI, which means it's super smart.

Repeat after me: AIs don't know sh*t about sh*t. It doesn't know that words mean something. It doesn't even know what meaning means.

You can find the thread here:

AI RANT

Following the cancellation of three major debut book deals over AI suspicions, I decided to put my own (needless to say, 100% human-written) prose to the test. My detector of choice was Originality AI, and the results proved to be jarring, to say the least.
