A surge of AI-written novels submitted to literary awards — leaving judges scrambling to keep up — became a hot topic on 5ch’s Hardware/Industry (Console Wars) board. Some in the thread pushed back, arguing that AI prose, easy to read without any friction, just doesn’t suit literature meant to be read between the lines. Others countered that, used well, AI can produce writing that’s clear and easy to follow. The discussion eventually grew into a debate over just how much human involvement is needed for something to still count as “creation.”
The Age of AI Novels Flooding Literary Awards: The Judges’ Struggle and the Truth Behind “Readable Writing”
Why are AI novels shaking up the awards selection process so much? Behind it lies more than just a rise in submission numbers — there’s a psychological mechanism at work in which humans end up genuinely preferring AI-written prose.

We're basically already in an era where AI writes game scenarios too
if only it were even that good
Brain-dead affiliate spammers (アフィカス, ad-farming blog copy-pasters) can only copy-paste anyway

AI doesn't actually write from scratch as much as people think
you need a solid plot and detailed instructions or it won't give you the writing you intended
used well though, it can turn out clear, easy-to-read prose

>Compared to human writing full of dense metaphors and lines you have to read between, it offers a stress-free, 'lowest-common-denominator comfort' — and that's exactly what draws readers in
I read literature specifically because I want to spend time and brainpower on it, the last thing I want is plain, easy-to-digest prose
if I just wanted simple content consumption I'd watch Netflix instead

Writers who grow up on AI will end up writing in an AI-like style
language is always changing anyway

If you're going to have AI generate it and then spend all that effort fixing the weird parts yourself, it's faster to just write it yourself from the start

Using AI for grunt work never gets criticized, but for some reason using it for creative work does

with grunt work, you're still the one in the driver's seat
with the latter, you're letting AI replace even your brain

it's supposed to be your own means of expression — outsourcing that to someone else defeats the whole point
there's an old story about a noble who had a painter make a picture for him and then bragged about it as if he'd painted it himself, and got mocked for it. this is exactly that

the quality of the output actually changes depending on the instructions and prompts you feed the AI, so the personality of someone who uses it properly really does come through

that noble made literally the same excuse you're making now lol
something like 'I'm the one who told him to paint the seaside, or the birds, or whatever, so this painting being good is thanks to me too' lol

Take games, novels, manga, whatever — if you have AI make the whole thing and the actual creator does nothing, yeah, that's obviously bad
but having AI take it from 0 to 1, then the creator develops it from 1 to 10
or the creator does 0 to 1 themselves and has AI take it from 1 to 10
I think we're just at a point where denying that is pointless
even for literary awards, I bet the people who do the entire 0-to-10 process completely by themselves are going to become the minority as time goes on

nah, in the end novels written entirely by humans still sell better, so that's not happening

lol that's dumb
the correct way to use AI is:
have AI do a full 1-to-10 draft
then, with real intent, the human either does it themselves or re-prompts the AI
to condense that 10 down to a 5
then again, human or AI, re-prompt
to condense that 5 down to a 3
and using that 3 as a base, the human
rewrites it back up to about a 6
only then do you actually get quality control
unfortunately most people
just stop at 1→10→5
meaning they never actually revise
and honestly, if a human writes it entirely themselves
they usually can't even manage a full 1-to-10 in the first place
which used to be exactly the filter that weeded out most people

yeah it'll happen
because it's all about connections anyway
the ghostwriter just becomes AI instead
in other words, it's a trash industry
not worth paying into
