@jayna: @arduilcelebren,

@arduilcelebren, we have done some investigating of this issue. The tool we use has a less than 2% rate of "false positive" results in its assessment of whether a piece of content is AI-generated. This means it's rare for the tool to be wrong, but it can happen.

As I mentioned the other day on Discord, there are certain quality aspects that can cause content to be interpreted as AI. One of them is simple, flowery language. (Example: Ellie's heart raced with excitement as she made her way through the skyscrapers.) And another thing that can trigger an AI report is short length. I'm afraid your story has both of these issues, at only 405 words.

I actually ran a test. I wrote a very short story with no depth of story or character development, using simple phrasing like, "It was a beautiful day." The story was reported by the AI detector as 100% AI.

So, it seems this is probably the issue with your story. We recommend that you take the time to develop your characters. Write stories that are rich with details and have emotional depth so they are worth the time the reader invests in reading your work. Use language that is not a repeat of things that have been said in thousands of unremarkable stories before.

I hope you know that I am telling you all this because I care. I've really enjoyed your stories in the past. I know you have the ability to write well.

Here are some resources for you from our catalog of fiction writing tips:

I hope that helps!
