One day, while browsing YouTube, I came across a woman discussing how to earn money through writing on Voice. She not only explained the process but also introduced tools to help improve writing. Curious, I followed her advice and rewrote the content of a video into an article—summarizing its key points and sharing my thoughts. Since I wasn’t copying word-for-word but simply discussing the video’s story, I assumed this was completely acceptable.
To my surprise, my article was rejected for being "amended by AI." This left me puzzled because my first article had been accepted without issue. Why was my second one flagged? Determined to test the system, I submitted another article—this time writing completely without any tools, ignoring grammar mistakes and making sure every word was purely my own.
Guess what? It got rejected again.
Now, this raises a serious question: If grammar tools and AI writing assistants are not allowed, why is an AI tool being used to judge my writing? Why is it acceptable for machines to decide whether my work is “human enough”, but not acceptable for me to use technology to improve my writing?
This contradiction is both absurd and discriminatory. It sends the message that only people with perfect, A+ English deserve to publish articles—even if those articles are meant to inform or entertain. It also unfairly punishes those who may not have flawless grammar but have valuable ideas to share.
If platforms are so obsessed with rejecting AI assistance, maybe I should just write my articles by hand and submit them in my own handwriting. But wait—the website doesn’t even allow handwritten submissions! It forces me to use a fixed, digital font, yet it wants to ban AI because it’s "not human enough"? What kind of logic is that?
This entire situation proves a bigger point: AI isn’t the enemy. It’s a tool—just like spell check, grammar correction, and even the very keyboard we use to type. If AI can help improve clarity and readability, why should it be demonized while AI detection tools are blindly trusted?
I believe encouraging competition among writers is a great idea, but let’s be honest—AI will always be better at ensuring flawless, high-quality writing. Instead of banning it, why not use it to help writers grow?
I am submitting this article just to test your platform (Vocal) again. But if you reject it, I won’t waste my time any further—there are plenty of other websites that will accept my opinion without ridiculous restrictions.
Your rejection isn’t a loss for me—it’s a loss for your business. While you push writers away, other platforms will gladly welcome this same article and benefit from it instead.
At the end of the day, rejection doesn’t mean my work lacks value—it just means I’ve used the wrong platform. After all, even Harry Potter was rejected multiple times before becoming a billion-dollar success.
So, the real question is: Are you truly encouraging creative expression, or are you just policing writers with an unfair, flawed system?
