>Consider the novelist Coral Hart. Starting last February, she began using Anthropic’s Claude AI to start churning out romance novels, becoming an invisible juggernaut of the smut world, according to a new interview with The New York Times.
Anyone here read any of Cora Hart’s novels? could you tell something was off or was it enjoyable?

Well if you are in the only segment of fiction that has always been about slop, then AI does in fact help you produce it faster.

All else aside, the proliferation of slop will almost certainly crowd out up and coming authors to such a degree that it will strangle off the growth of real meaningful talent and human contribution to literature over time. It’s the same thing it’s doing in every other field – it’s sealing off the human skill growth pipelines from coding to writing to basically everything and in 20 years, when human achievement suddenly grinds to a halt, our children will merely be left to ask:
“Hey ChatGPT, why are there no new ideas?”

If you can churn it out without time and care, why would I take the time and care to read it?

Yeah, well, regular writers will actually produce something that’s good, so.

More AI slop is likely to turn even more readers off, why bother reading at all if so many books are bad

McDonalds can churn out hundreds of burgers a day, but people will still go to a grill for a better one.
