I disagree.

While AI might help at systemising and/or summarising already existing information, I wouldn't rely on it at all for any creative thought. And what's worse, the more people spare content like this, the more tolerant they'll become to it, bringing the overall quality down.

I don't know if it's necessary a bad thing. Presumably these people were enjoying the book until they read this.

How can we presume that?

All we know is that these people were promised a novel written as art by humans and were baited and switched into getting an algorithm.

It's kind of like the invention of the printing press. Sure, the content may not be artistically crafted any more, and there may be waaaay more slop. But I bet we will end up getting way more high quality content too.

If we're still in the betting process for whether AI might one day potentially be high quality then it sounds like you understand that today it's not a viable product to write novels with.

It helps you get up to the baseline but will never make you great.
