Which obviously an absurd hypothetical but how is AI not just another tool?
It absolutely is a tool, but I think that the amount of microdecisions made per artistic subunit matters to a lot of people.
In a human made novel, there are hundreds of microdecisions per page. Choices to use one word and not another.
With AI stories, the nature of prompting is that there end up being far fewer human microdecisions per page. I would guess 10:1 is a good conservative estimate of the typical case in both instances.
Some people want to know that a human being might have consciously or unconsciously used this word in this sentence, which works as foreshadowing for this section later in the book. With an AI assisted story, most such cases are going to be complete serendipity with no greater intention or meaning added by the human author of the piece.
