I feel like most of these "AI is going to ruin X" posts ignore the fact that there was already a tremendous amount of crap in X. Before AI, people got cheap, low-quality ghostwriters. Ultimately, I feel like this is going to be a very short-lived phase of AI - soon we'll be at the place where you can just tell an AI to generate a coloring book or a children's book about a topic of your choosing (personalized if you'd like) and have that sent off the printer and delivered to you. The quality will be just as good as the best stuff out there today. At some point after that, we'll get to high-quality novels. The AI hustle bros are going to have a limited window before AI upends their hustles - just ignore them for a couple of years, and it'll be like the never existed.

That's funny, I'm actually working on an interactive, choose-your-own adventure app (utilising GPT) right now. Of course, if you just try to do it out of the box, it'll give you a lot of bad results, but there's a lot of tools you can use to improve it and guide it in desired direction. However, the problems I encounter are all on the narrative level (too much of circling back, not following required story beats, etc). The writing is perfectly adequate (in the least) and I don't see how it could possibly ruin children's reading skills.
