Honestly, I have no problem with airport novel quality books, and the thing is, these tend to be competently written - clearly there's such a huge oversupply of writing talent that even throwaway books are kind of decent. I suspect even people who only manage to sell hundreds of copies have quite a bit of talent and years of practice.

The market doesn't need the flood of this AI garbage as it will make these books utterly impossible to discover and drown the low end in excrement, driving away 'guilty pleasure' readers such as me and you.
