What does "AI Assisted" even mean?

The answer is laziness. People barely comment on stories they do like (I basically have to trick people to get more than a few comments per chapter despite managing to write a couple stories that are decently popular), you need to get people at least somewhat invested for someone to decide to leave a negative comment instead of just silently closing the tab.
How exactly do you trick people? Cause I definitely am someone who could use ways to get people to comment, at least more detailed as people only say "good chapter" or "hope for next chapter" or etc. It's small not much effort stuff that doesn't tell me anything specific.

I have a original novel that's got zero comments and real views and I can't fully say if it's just bad or I don't know how to get it around as no one has said anything about it.

I've had decent luck asking for specific suggestions. "Hey, Taylor is going to get some tattoos soon. What kind of designs would you like to see?" "Taylor's room is pretty bare. What decorations could she get?" and so on. When you get a few people commenting, that encourages other people to comment as well, and sometimes I even get suggestions that are so good I just have to implement them (I don't ignore the rest of the suggestions, but... usually I already have my own ideas of what I'm going to do, and anyway Taylor is only going to get a few tattoos so if I get a dozen different suggestions plus my own ideas, I'll only be able to implement a couple of them even if there are multiple good ones).

I do have to emphasize that Toy #14 was a fairly popular story to begin with, and so if you're barely getting any views, this kind of tactic most likely isn't going to help much (if at all).
 
Quality is also a pretty obvious clue nowadays as for all that's called slop (narrative-wise) AI still shits out stuff that looks good (stylistically).
If it's one-line "chapters," then it wasn't written by AI.
If the grammar is shit, with unfinished prepositions, wild commas, or replaced words, then it wasn't written with AI assistance.
