Artificial Intelligence is now capable of writing at a level comparable to humans, leading to confusion among readers and an existential crisis for authors. This development has sparked legal actions within the publishing industry.

A study analyzed 12,750 arXiv papers and found that approximately one-third of new submissions appeared to be machine-written. The measurement method revealed limitations, including a tendency for detection tools to falsely identify some genuine human writing as AI-generated.

The 2026 Unslop AI-Written Fiction Contest results reveal a significant influence of human intervention in the submissions. Winning entries demonstrated varying degrees of AI assistance, raising questions about authorship and originality in AI-generated literature.

LLMs can enhance writing by improving vocabulary and sentence structure. Over time, common sentence patterns generated by LLMs have become prevalent across the internet, creating a phenomenon referred to as "AI smell."
