Heavy AI users spot AI-written book instantly, while Reddit skeptics trust no detector

Afinetheorem surfaced a French Reddit discussion about a book that is obviously AI-generated. Most commenters dismissed AI detectors as unreliable, while heavy AI users immediately recognized the telltale "AI slop" writing style. The author argues people who don't use AI heavily simply don't notice these tics: he identified the book as AI-written within a few chapters, and notes that GPT and Claude flagged exactly the same patterns he spotted — no dedicated detector like Pangram needed.
