The editor of a sci-fi magazine says he's getting flooded with plagiarized short stories as AI tools take off: 'It quickly got out of hand'

• An online publisher says it's closing submissions because it's received a flood of AI-written stories.
• Clarkesworld typically pays new writers up to $2,640 if it accepts their short story submissions.
• Its founding editor said the magazine received 500 stories flagged for plagiarism in February alone.

Fantasy and science fiction magazine Clarkesworld has stopped taking submissions after it was swarmed by AI-written short stories.
