“Just bc something gets a mainstream outlet doesn’t mean its make is better/exceptional” doesn’t seem like a controversial understanding. Having more reach = more varied (including sincere AND disingenuous contrary) opinions about it also doesn’t seem like a net evil? Idk.

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre.
A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>.
This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.
Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc

I just read a clearly AI-fueled or AI-written book in my academic niche, and while I stumble to finish it, I predict that future historiography will have literature categories and markers like *published post 2024* or *published ante 2024*. Our days will be seen as the barrier between these worlds.
