Given how AI is already polluting the water of literary works, I’m likely never going to read a new book for quite some time, but will just pursue books before 2010.
Is 2010 a good cutoff?

How do you feel about books by Alexandre Dumas? They are from long before AI. But… Dumas had a collaborator called Maquet, who came up with plots and did a big part of the writing. He was an ok writer, but not as good as Dumas. So their collaboration was like this: Dumas paid Maquet to produce quantities of ok stories for him. Then Dumas edited them to add his brilliant language and ideas, and Dumas got to take all the credit and glory.
If an AI can produce a book that takes all of human creativity and blows my socks away in weaving a tapestry of storytelling, then that’s great. But I don’t see AI being used that way. I see AI being used to sell products. I see AI writing a book that sucks you in the first half, and then moralizes you about the dangers of socialism in the second half whilst promoting Wolf Cola
(Interesting about Dumas though, I had no idea. It doesn’t ruin the few books I’ve read of his for me)
