I like it. If we assume that schlock fiction is objectively worse in some measurable way, then that suggests it should be easier to generate than works of high literature. I bet with some concerted effort, it would be possible to build an algorithm which digests a bunch of generic fantasy books and produces a tale of an unlikely group of heroes questing for the $object to turn the tide of $conflict.
