Wow. An interesting (and time-consuming) approach. I appreciate that lit journals are working to find answers to this scourge of slop.
Please don't send us AI-generated stories. This age of taking credit for something you didn't do is such a pain. We will now have Zoom calls with all writers we consider accepting. And we will delay payment to avoid paying bad actors. This bullshit.
