New AI red flags in stories!!:
          
          • The rule of 3s 
          • Using "it's not X, it's Y"
          • One word sentences
          • Capitalizing the first letter of a sentence
          • World building and plot that makes sense
          • Using correct grammar 
          • Writing like someone who's seen sunlight and touches grass 
          • Literally, any sign of literacy!
          
          Apparently, if you're someone who's using WORDS in their story, then you're most definitely a robot :p 
          
          The only way you wouldn't sound like AI is if Ur typing like having a full on stroke:
          
          "Once upon a time, He cried, I cried, we both crode. The fucking end."
          
          Congratulations!! U now have 0% AI detection and sound absolutely human (I always knew Jane Austen wasn't smh).
          
          This makes me so sad that we have bullied writers into reverse evolution lol. Like why. God forbid a writer has proper grammar and paid attention in their English classes? Not good for U ig???? 
          
          We've officially reached the "Salem Witch Trials" of writing. If next time you breathe near a semi colon, an em dash or the words deliberate, silence and surgical, they'll burn you alive!! 
          
          It's giving degenerative AI literally...
          
          (To all the human AI detectors out there: please... I thought the grammar police was bad until I saw the AI detection police on this platform. Don't you dare come for me or otherwise you'll be blocked! :)

          Thank you so much for the love and support! 

So the wattys just announced their shortlist lol and I'm just disappointed, as every year with how they shortlist stories, and based on what criteria really? It's more like a luck contest atp rather than talent. An AI based system would pick out stories and if anyone knows how AI works, they would also know that AI only supports AI written stories and AI-like writing (and so u know what kind of stories were really shortlisted).
          
          Ik I'm not the most talented writer out there and didn't expect to be shortlisted, but I know so many who are, and they didn't get the chance to be recognised. I wish Wattpad was more inclusive of genres, announced winners based on categories instead of restricting to a "100 winners max" window. I checked the list actually and honestly, none of the stories felt unique or brought anything fresh to the plot. It's the same old recycled stuff that wattpad could profit from, and has nothing to do with talent. Everything about wattpad screams casd grab and it's nothing but disappointing. The only reason I don't leave this app is because of the great community and so many talented writers here. 
          
          But wattpad as a  business/platform is a complete failure. It has failed a lot of writers before by deleting their works, promoting AI content, promoting cliché plots with no uniqueness and whatnot, and it will keep continuing to fail. Ik it wouldn't be long until this platform would collapse lol but oh well. For now, we can only hope they change their work and marketing ethic. 
          
          (Sorry I just felt like ranting)
