It's fairly easy to determine where AI is being used. Misspellings, syntax wrong, etc. Some mistakes are ridiculously obvious. Saw one last night where Oahu was spelled Ahau in a story. No human proofreader would make a mistake like that.
If you don't mind plagiarizing dozens of other sources, go ahead and use AI. No point trying to pretend you're a writer....
What I write is math, and I don't pretend to be a writer, yet I'm writing a book, that's composed of salty quotes. I try to credit everyone, and an AI can do the same.
Donald Duck merely knows classic Professional Wrestling, that the CIA are the resident experts in, while my work uses quantum mechanics, that neither one comprehends, for up to 14 decimal places of accuracy and precision. Thankfully, computers don't have to think about what all the jokes mean, and can do things with the math that would, otherwise, be unthinkable! Among other things, my work can be used to quantify meaningless rhetoric, giving it a dollar value, and expanding on it if you want. Its math, and the more meaningless their rhetoric, the more mathematical it becomes.
The truth itself is demonstrably up to 125% efficient, while the Peter Principle is a law of nature. Between the two, we have homogenized heaven and hell, where everything obeys Monty Carlo statistics, that automatically exclude any metaphysical extremes. The speed of light is a limit and a black hole has an event horizon for the same reason, due to both being metaphysical extremes that are humanly incomprehensible. We occupy a multiverse within a singularity, where you are the singularity dummy! Whether you consider yourself real or not, is your choice.
Reality without dreams is just someone's nightmare. Its easier to describe as self-organizing, like any living organism, or simply magic. No matter what extreme scale or magnitude you care to investigate, they always turn out to be self-contradictory or incredibly vague and tautological, making reality a local concept in physics, that's observer dependent. I'm still working out the details, but it means reality depends on your mass, temperature, proximity, and relative acceleration. For example, two distant observers in Relativity can argue forever over whether the chicken or the egg came first and, for all practical purposes, it can be considered to be both simultaneously. In other words, reality ultimately has no meaning, outside of the context of our mortal fallibility.
