Given how AI is already polluting the water of literary works, I'm likely never going to read a new book for quite some time, but will just pursue books before 2010.

Is 2010 a good cutoff?

There have always been bad books. There will always be good books. An arbitrary cutoff would only hurt myself.

I feel that bad books written by humans is different than books written by AI, and I feel the difference is mostly intent. A bad book might have been written with the best of intentions. A generated book, not so much
