That kind of was my point as well.
If you are a good author, sure you can probably write a book faster with AI - maybe even faster than without using it.
But this fantasy of “people will just dump a prompt into GPT and it will produce a masterpiece (or at least something that a reasonably big audience perceives as good)” is just that: a fantasy.
I am open to change my mind of course once I see a good story written mostly or completely by AI.
Sure “good” is subjective but I think no one can argue that the stories produced by AI today are good by any measure - at best they are a passable mimicry of a story that already existed.
