"'There is widespread concern from novelists that generative AI trained on vast amounts of fiction will undermine the value of writing and compete with human novelists,'"
"'Many novelists felt uncertain there will be an appetite for complex, long-form writing in years to come,'"
"'The novel is a precious and vital form of creativity that is worth fighting for.'"
Artificial intelligence could produce mass-market fiction that outcompetes human writers and risks leaving future major literary talents undiscovered. Genres such as romance, thrillers, and crime face the greatest exposure to AI-produced novels. A survey of 258 published novelists and 74 industry insiders found 51% believe AI may entirely replace their work, over a third report income declines, and 59% say their writing was used to train large language models without permission or payment. Many foresee a two-tier market with human-written novels as luxury goods and cheap or free AI fiction dominating mainstream consumption, while novels continue to feed film, television and gaming industries.
