As large language models (LLMs) become embedded in standard writing software\u2014offering automated rephrasing, structural suggestions, and style adjustments\u2014the boundary between permissible digital assistance and impermissible machine generation has blurred.This technological shift has created severe tensions between automated AI detection tools, human-authored literary and academic works, and institutional enforcement of integrity standards. Prize committees and academic bodies are increasingly confronted with allegations triggered by software scans, forcing them to establish formal investigative protocols in real time."}
