It'd be interesting if they did like that college prof someone wrote about here, and published AI-written stories with obvious issues, then awarded for best fix / polish / response to editor feedback / requests for integration of specific domain knowledge / etc.

If writers are gonna AI, then make sure to also test their AI-wielding skill to a very high level and definitely dwell on areas that are tough for AI.

It seems also ideal if solutions in this kind of space could make the extrinsic reward-seeking process more open by default.

Like: OK--go ahead and use AI, but document your entire process using blockchain receipts, or something. Then let's see how a qualitative approach to that kind of situation can really make a work shine.

Thus you will be rewarded for what you created, and wow, you're an award-winning author--but also you're rewarded for publishing methods that improve the entire state of the art for everyone's benefit.
