AI Detector

Regarding this message that I received:
"As an editor (a.k.a. a Level 6 Reviewer), you approved the following review, but our automated system has detected that it was made with AI:"
Since OBC has an automated system to detect AI, I suggest that they use that system to screen every review before sending it to an editor. The offending reviewer would automatically be banned. It would eliminate all the discrepancies, recheck requests, and suspensions related to AI use.

I don't believe the OBC AI detector system is at all accurate. I think they need a more advanced system.
I wrote 53 reviews without any problems but my 54th review was flagged as AI and I've had three more flagged since then.
I know I wrote them myself. If anyone read them I think they would agree.
I've been waiting 2 months for a response to my appeal.
I'm so disappointed as I love reviewing books for OBC.

When it comes to this what I do is I check 4 different AI generators. If the review is above 50% AI in all of them then I call it. Thats what we were taught anyway in college, if something comes back 50% or higher that is AI then its no good. Even if it says that 4% to 25% was human written if it says that 50% or more is AI then im sorry im marking it. I quaduple check every time before I slap down an AI review.

What is the justification for using an AI system to declare a review was written in AI. AI is nothing more than a data base of accumulated words written somewhere. To use AI to accuse of using AI is lazy and uninformed. Recently I put the poem “IF” by Rudyard Kipling through a system detection for AI. The system returned that 80% was written by AI. This is falling down hilarious. This poem was written around 1895. AI cannot feel. AI can only repeat. There is nothing brilliant about an editor slapping a reviewer with an AI ban. Furthermore, to have this unjustified slap removed is a futile attempt of run-around.

Brilliant idea! Perhaps the OBC system requires a bit of refining, e.g., a certain percentage of the review has to be made with AI before flagging it. The dispute process for a reviewer to get reinstated also requires revision. If this system is applied carefully, it will avoid unfair banning, e.g., being banned for one sentence that is reflected as AI-generated.

Yes! Excellent idea.

Once in a while, I get a message above a review that it has been checked by their AI system, and it comes up as AI-generated. They then want me to check it to make sure that it is indeed AI-generated. It really doesn't make sense. If their automated system said that it was written by AI, then they should automatically ban the reviewer. This only happens in maybe one out of 50 reviews, so I don't understand how their system works.

AI Detectors are not perfect. If an automatic system started doing this, most of the review team would end up banned. I had an editor mark one of my reviews as AI for my sentence "I rate this book five out of five stars." Editors who objectively read the review would have known that was not AI. It took me almost a month to be reinstated. I think your idea is okay, but I think Scott would need to explain how the automated system detects AI.

Stephanie Runyon you are so lucky. I am still waiting for the outcome of an AI appeal on one (now 2!) reviews for nearly 2 1/2 months. (I don’t know why I was flagged..)

Stephanie Runyon I mean...how else is a reviewer supposed to say, "I rate this book five out of five stars?"

Stephanie Runyon as Rebecca said, you are very lucky. I was not able to have my account reinstated and feel like there was not a proper way to handle the case. It's sad because I really enjoyed being part of the team...
Stephanie Runyon
Rebecca de figueiredo have you used the appeal that should be located with the ban issue? It should send it back to the editor and they should explain why they flagged the review. If that doesn't work then you can request an admin appeal. Just make sure you explain that you didn't use AI. If you can run your review through an AI checker and prove it, then mention it. If it marks something like it did mine, then explain that is something you created. But make sure you write that before appealing it to the editor because the Admin won't allow further explanation.

Stephanie Runyon thank you. I will try to follow your advice now. I did put it through QUILLBOT which found 0% Ai. Strange.

Hi Stephanie Runyon. I have just tried and have used up my initial 2 editor scorecards (I got a 100% for this review before a third ‘someone’ decided there was Ai in my review). It seems I just have to wait.
