Would-be novelist. Currently working on a historical fiction novel set during the Revolutionary War.
Word Processing inalterably changed writing half a century ago. It's practical to not allow wholly-generated AI works. But there will be (and probably already are!) good AI-aided stories and there will be (plenty of) bad ones. Just like there are plenty of bad human-only-made stories right now.

How about when I use NotebookLM to summarize my research about a particular moment? Is that disqualifying? How about when an author dictates a sentence? What about when Grammarly suggests a comma? Or spellcheck fixes a typo? We live in a cyborg world where technology enables us all the time.

You can't use AI to help figure out a plot point? Polish your writing? Fix your grammar? Do research? We hire human beings to help us with these things all the time. Is it disqualifying to have a human editor polish your work?

That's a really interesting use of AI. How are you doing that? What's the prompt?
