Beat My AI<\/em> gives writers and readers the opportunity to explore the differences and similarities between AI-generated and human-created content<\/strong>. We are looking for short fiction, flash fiction, poetry, and visual narrative pieces that either fit into the \u2018Original\u2019 or the \u2018Contender\u2019 section. Have a look at our How It Works <\/strong><\/a><\/span>page to get an idea of our publishing procedure and schedule.<\/p>

In addition to the categories above, we are also interested in nonfiction contributions to our blog.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Original Section<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

All submissions for the Original section must include a clearly definable part generated or heavily influenced by AI<\/strong>. The extent of this AI-part must not surpass one third of the entire piece<\/strong>. For example, a short story of 1500 words may include AI-generated\/-supported paragraphs of up to 500 words in total. For poetry, this could be line-based. Visual narrative content might include text or visuals that add up to about one third of the complete work. Depending on the genre and form of AI-involvement you chose, the distinguishing feature of what represents the AI-part might not always be entirely clear. When in doubt whether your work meets the requirements, just send it our way. The final decision on whether your piece qualifies lies with the editor<\/strong>. Just keep in mind that the AI-parts have to be clearly identifiable for other writers or artists to take their shot at with their Contender submissions.<\/p>

You want to participate but don\u2019t know what to send in? How about that work-in-progress story that you always wanted to finish? Or that lovely original poem that has been demanding an overhaul for ages? Complement your work with a limited AI-part and submit it. Just keep in mind the max. 1\/3-rule and you are good to go. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Contender Section<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

All submissions for the Contender section must be created to challenge the AI-part of a specific Original<\/strong>. Choose one of the Original pieces and create a substitute for the respective AI-part that fits the human-made part of the work in terms of length, style, and content. For example, if an Original short story has two AI-paragraphs with 200 words each, try to come up with a superior alternative in the same word-range and a matching writing style. You could change the dynamic and direction of the story if you feel like it, but it still has to fit the overall content. The result should be a cohesive piece of work that beats the version of the Original with the AI-part.<\/strong> The same general guidelines apply to the other categories, like poetry and visual stories.<\/p>

Always wanted to beat the machine? Here is your chance to do it. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We are always looking for nonfiction articles to be published on our blog that deal with current events or general observations regarding AI and the literary landscape<\/strong>.<\/p>

In addition to that, we\u2019d really love to receive pieces that refer to the content on our site, especially if this work analyzes the published Original-Contender-Combos<\/strong>. How does the Contender compare to the Original AI-part? What is working regarding this substitution? What isn\u2019t? Are there certain story or image traits that keep popping up in the AI-parts? \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The guidelines for each category essentially apply to Original submissions, however, Contender pieces need to observe the stated criteria with regard to the newly formed Original-Contender-Combo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
