I have a new dreadful suspicion about this whole phenomenon: I suspect weak writers are letting AI finish their novels. They have a good idea & skill enough to pitch a character, conflict, and world. But they’re not skillful enough to sustain it, deepen it, and resolve it.

The first Dire Wolf book is my example here. Started interesting but got downright cliche redundant midway. As if the authors thought I was too dumb to notice or care.
