Surely if "an editor" introduced the AI slop, it would be possible to compare it to the self-published version and determine when the suspect passages were introduced, no?

But I'm guessing the author is not going to do that, because it might further cement the conclusion most people have already come to.

The fact that the original cover was apparently lifted shamelessly "from Pinterest" does not inspire confidence, either...
Franky, I've no definite opinions on the thing. If it was AI written, it was sloppy. If it wasn't, it was a niche audience pulp genre that I'd have no interest in. What I'm confident is that AI used by a smart writer, would be very hard to detect. Not to write a whole novel, but to help write passages of it, some dialogues, or such. That thing is really worrying.
