One potential future I could see with generative AI and fiction is a sort of infinite interactive fiction where the reader plays a more active role in exploring the space. Maybe they have some control, or maybe they can just ask the AI where to look next. And at least in that case, it would clearly be AI doing the work. Not that this would stop people from producing AI novels, or anything.
In my writing, I just go for it. If someone thinks it sounds like an AI, what can I do? (I don't use AI for any of my writing, for the record. What fun would that be?)
I also love using em dashes properly, so I guess that's points against. Vim: ^K-M gets you one.
But when I write something like a letter of recommendation or, heaven forbid, a cover letter, I do actually try to write it so that it sounds human. If someone suspects that the letter was AI generated, it becomes worthless. And I don't like to write worthless letters of recommendation.
