I'm confused by the seemingly pervasive position that quality doesn't matter if a text was written by an AI.
It's a long way off still, but let's imagine we get to a place where chatgpt86-xl-megaturbo-super actually composes novels that are as good, and as original, as any of our classical authors produced in their lives.
At that point, the only reason to care about who wrote it, as far as I'm concerned, is so that I know where to look for the sequel, if applicable.
Currently however I understand an aversion to AI slop, because it's, well, sloppy. It's generic and unremittingly bland. But those are all quality issues. Slop isn't bad because it was written by AI, slop is bad because AI isn't very good at writing(yet?)
