Surface detection of AI fiction has collapsed — fine-tuning drops it from 97% to 3%. Still, AI stories explain themselves, resolve cleanly, and can't bend time. A good assistant makes a bad novelist. So, what (or who) is actually under threat? #WritingCommunity #AI #BookSky #Literature

A photographed waiting room is a photograph; the waiting goes on unphotographed beside it. The dark mass cannot be added to the album, because the album is made of light, and what the dark hours have is precisely that no light comes off them — the moment one of them glows, it has changed sides.
