Talk:Livesuit

Content seems AI generated

The description of the plot is close to right in the very broad strokes, but not quite. It's also wrong on many details like the name of the protagonist, their planet of origin, claiming that they're a pilot instead of infantry, etc.

It does look like a confidently wrong AI summary, with a high proportion of hallucination. ~2026-41691-4 (talk) 03:04, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Absolute travesty of an entry. This is making me learn how to actually edit entries! ~2026-42164-8 (talk) 03:42, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes. A case at the AI Noticeboard, WP:AINB § User:Bookisher concluded that all of this editor's created articles were LLM. Most of them are being deleted via WP:LLMPROD but as this one seems to have other editors working on it, I hope you can deal with the issues successfully. Please be aware that every single citation in the article is guilty until proven innocent: there have been pervasive source/text mismatches in everything this editor touched. Sometimes the best approach is to reduce it to a stub and then build back up with new, human, correctly sourced text. If I can be of help, feel free to put a message on my Talk page. I have tagged the article as LLM generated in the hopes of attracting more helpers. Best of luck! M kuhner (talk) 03:33, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

I rewrote the introduction and removed all other sections aside from the plot summary, which had already been completely rewritten. As suspected, none of the references really matched the claims of the text. I believe the article should be clean now. Ghoti the Fish (talk) 15:53, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

I will mark it as done in our tracking sheet. Thank you so much! M kuhner (talk) 17:02, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Identity of the enemy

I have removed the mention of the Carryx being the story's enemy from the plot summary. While this is implied by the make-up of the enemy army, it is never explicitly stated within the novella. Instead I would suggest that the implicit connections to the main storyline are best discussed in a later section. Ghoti the Fish (talk) 22:16, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Unused references

The following references were removed from the article as part of taking out content produced by an LLM. I'm storing the references (and notes on their actual content) here in case they might come in handy for future additions. Ghoti the Fish (talk) 15:23, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
