It's an interesting thought experiment but if the goal is to decide whether we should allow these types of AIs to be used for commercial purposes I think it's more helpful to ask a different question.

If we had these LLMs 30 years ago would J.K Rowling's books ever have existed?

Do you have a definitive answer to that question? Can you point to anyone who does?

All your question does is give people an excuse to make up alternate history in order to argue whichever side of the argument they already believe. It serves little purpose in the dialogue of defining AI and human creativity.

You'd probably have 100+ equivalent works, 10 better works, and 100,000 inferior works.
