Yes. In an age of abundant junk, curation of the gems can be a successful strategy.
That is a theme in one of Niel Stephensons novels. He predicted the rise of incoherent rage inducing algorithms for profit. Even implied it would work exceptionally well on right wing rural religious people from middle America. People with money and taste paid for a custom feed, curated by humans.
We can add this to a growing list, along with Google earth and second life.

If the house has a quality criteria for entry, won't the writer have to focus on the content of their work in order to meet the criteria?
Everyone else? They won't get the ability to establish their brand/style (assuming chatgpt gets faster at updating with recent information/sources).
I can see us relying far more on centralized institutions (again). Only reading from certain publishing houses, writers focusing more on trying to get into a certain house vs content of their work.
