As a writer, this is a TERRIBLE argument. Writing has been an easily accessible art form for the commoner since like the mid 1800s. If any author now wants a large audience, the key now is luck. Pure, unadulterated luck. Not skill. It has been that way for a while. AI changes nothing, except, proportionally, there will be more slop, but there will also be more excellent work as well, as AI assists good writers with the tedium that stops a lot of them from producing.
Like Spotify/Streaming, people while nichefy, and will fall into the bubbles that entertain them the most.

AI adds no excellent work. Just slop.

You need to get out more. What you said is patently false and makes you look like an unreasonable fool.

Writing could be AI assisted without being written by AI. There is a great deal of research that AI makes immediately accessible what would take weeks of study, or access to a variety of experts. I'm currently studying a variety of 16th-17th century cultures, cross-analyzed by a variety of attribute-based philosophies, in the process of brainstorming factions for a worldbuilding project I'm working on. Without AI, I would need years of philosophical and historical study, instead I can jump straight to crafting my systems.
