Yup. Writing is thinking. So if you write a shitty first draft, you did some thinking and are on your way! If you got “AI” to write the draft, you haven’t thought AND now you’re trying to fix up what some non-thinking robot “thought.” You just put yourself 30 yards behind the starting line.
I remember people saying things like “you can’t fix an empty page” as an explanation for why writing a shitty first draft is better than no writing, but it’s not because it’s easier to edit than draft.
It’s because the act of drafting tells you about the shape of the story.

This is not just bots. We are seeing more and more submissions by writers with publication records who are almost certainly using AI to create initial drafts and then are trying and failing to edit things into shape.

If you're a person who cares about book banning this is a sexy bit of news.
It's worth saying, PRH is too big, and we can talk about monopolies in publishing separately and ALSO they are the ones LEADING THE WAY among publishers. This is a big move, and a big deal.
