Summary
A story selected for a prestigious British literary award appears to have been written by an LLM (large language model, an AI trained on text to generate human-like writing) rather than by a human author, raising concerns about how the literary world will handle AI-generated submissions. The story exhibits characteristic patterns of AI-generated text, such as repetitive sentence structures and predictable phrasing.
