AI writing fails at structure, not sentences. Here is what StoryScope found, and what it teaches every writer about the bones of a story.

A book about the future of truth got caught inventing quotes. The lesson isn't about AI ethics. It's about a checklist you already know how to use.

A viral survey says half of authors use AI. The number collapses under scrutiny, and the truth is more useful than the headline.
