It's a tough one, and it's only going to get tougher. It's unacceptable to me that the accusation of AI can ruin a career without any real proof. It's an accusation that gets thrown around quite a lot in some indie communities I am familiar with, and it kind of needs to be squashed.
But on the other hand, the industry now has to cope with an even greater flood of lazy soulless garbage, and I don't really want to read that. But is there a line? If the story and characters and setting are all created by a human and AI was merely used to make it readable, would that be OK? I don't know. I don't know if I'd recognise it.
I read a book not long ago that was full of weird non-sequiturs and continuity errors. I wondered if those were signs of AI, but I never voiced that accusation, and I think the book might be too old for that to be feasible.
My problem with AI is not so much with the tools - some of which are probably fine - but with the corporate land-grab. The Enclosure. Don't think for yourself, let our trillion dollar data centres do it for you.
