What is interesting that those of us who are creative won't say about AI, is that nobody could tell if the higher quality things are AI or not, or at least not definitively. The audience, if they are not told something is AI, basically just cares if they enjoyed it. Sure, if they absolutely love it they may become true fanatics and then want to know who the author is etc, but that just isn't how most people are. Many will also delude themselves if they do like something. For example, Sabrina Carpenter. Her songs are written by committee, this is well known. Yet, a lot of the audience tries to piece together some real life narrative of what inspired her or what must be going on in her interior life etc. Point is, creative people want to believe what they create is so much more and special to the audience than what it usually is, and we have to acknowledge that most people, even our readers, likely will never care like we do. Which is ok. How many people actually watch all the movie credits? Does anyone ask for the name of the person who designed the tires of their car, that literally keeps them on the road and prevents them from dying? No. Just write what you feel compelled to, find your audience if you are able and fortunate enough to stumble upon them, and don't focus on all this AI stuff. Do your thing, stop worrying about what everyone else is doing.
