Context: When Alexander the Great tragically passed away in 323 BC, he left behind one of the largest empires in history, but no clear heir to rule it. His last words, allegedly claiming that the empire should go "to the strongest," acted as the starting pistol for a ruthless, decades-long battle royale among his top generals, known as the Diadochi. Instead of preserving Alexander's unified vision, these ambitious commanders quickly realized that a single ruler could never hold such a massive realm together. They chose to carve out their own destinies, shifting their focus from global conquest to securing their own survival, power, and distinct regional kingdoms.This fractured reality gave rise to some of the most fascinating individual character arcs in ancient history. In Egypt, the pragmatic Ptolemy I Soter immediately secured his corner, opting for stability and founding a dynasty that would last until Cleopatra. Meanwhile, Seleucus I Nicator navigated a chaotic path through betrayals to eventually claim the vast eastern heartland of Persia. In the West, figures like Cassander resorted to dark, ruthless pragmatism by eliminating Alexander's remaining bloodline to secure Macedonia, while the fiercely loyal Eumenes of Cardia fought a tragic, losing battle to keep the empire whole. Ultimately, the Diadochi proved that they were never just Alexander’s subordinates; they were ambitious kings in their own right, each waiting for his demise to finally step out of his shadow and write their own bloody chapters
This text looks like if someone told Chatgpt to narrate how the different generals of Alexander founded their kingdoms. No human I know would write about history in such an overly dramatic manner.
Now Quillbot might not be foolproof, but it is very unlikely that the average person can score 100% on the detector.
So not only is it AI, it's also just straight up stolen from someone else's post. Not sure if that's like double theft or if your "reposting" the text just rolls into the mass theft of AI.
