Very recent story - man burned and disrespected by his rich father and brother decides to go back to music school. It was only six or so episodes in, and appears to have vanished from my history? I can't remember the name - but I am thinking it got pulled from the site?

There was a Forum thread discussing this but I can't find it, either my Search Fu has deserted me or it has also been deleted.
Summarising from memory, Lazeez has some tools which he uses to check incoming stories to see if they are AI generated. That story had the tools screaming AI! but the author (or "author") claimed he had written it himself and used AI to proofread (or something like that).
SOL accepts AI generated stories, although they are tagged as such. I think the author was not prepared to have that tag attached to his work, and Lazeez lost patience with him after several mails.
Some details of that explanation may be incorrect, but I believe I have the gist of it.
Also in the thread the author replied using odd language, referring to the story as 'the project', as if it was an experiment, IIRC. Another poster pointed out the author replied like an AI and the author stopped replying.
